New Mongolia Arctic Collaboration Strengthens Community-Based Resource Management Across Central Asia and the Arctic
A new initiative of the UArctic Thematic Network on Collaborative Resource Management and the Mongolian National University of Education aims to strengthen understanding and practice in collaborative resource management across Central Asia and the Arctic.
The initiative will develop practical approaches to community-based monitoring and explore how community and scientific knowledge can better inform natural resource management.
The new initiative aims to develop practical, shared steps for using community-based monitoring to inform decisions on the management of living resources. It will also explore how herder communities’ knowledge and scientific knowledge can better inform one another. The goal is to produce guidance that can be applied to Mongolia while also offering inspiration and practical value across the Arctic.
