  • Greenland 2019 West Greenland
    Greenland 2019 West Greenland Hunting in Greenland is the world’s largest island. Having a surface of 2.18 million, km² and only Greenland about 59,000 inhabitants it is one of the least densely populated regions in the world. The capital city is Nuuk, which has not more than 12,000 inhabitants. A large part of the country is always covered with ice, which can reach a thickness of 3,500m. About one sixth of the island is ice-free. Away from the coasts, the inland is dominated by inhospitable ice and cold deserts. Arctic climate prevails with maximum temperatures from 20 °C in the south to -5 °C in the north. In winter, lowest temperatures are around -50 °C. Hunting We are hunting in different areas winter and autumn, and in two different areas in autumn. areas: In winter, we hunt in a big area outside the concessions, its south of Kangerlussuaq, and is about 350.000 acres. Transport is easy with snowmobiles, so we can easily get around in the area. In autumn we have two concession areas (other outfitters cannot hunt there, but local hunters can go meat hunt in the areas). Both areas is unique, since area 9 is partially in the Inuit hunting World Heritage Site, and all of area 11 is in the World Heritage Site. Only our company and one other outfitter can offer hunts in this unique area where the Inuit started hunting 4000 thousand years ago, and where their old settlements and stone installation for driven hunts is still there.

    Threats to the Kujataa UNESCO World Heritage Site Niels Henrik Hooge, NOAH Friends of the Earth Denmark’s Uranium Group 9th International NGO Forum on World Heritage | 24 February 2021 The site • One of three WHS in Greenland. • Inscribed on UNESCO’s world heritage list in 2017 under Criterion V in the WH Convention as “an outstanding example of a traditional human settlement, land-use, or sea-use which is representative of a culture (or cultures), or human interaction with the environment especially when it has become vulnerable under the impact of irreversible change”. • It comprises a sub-arctic farming landscape consisting of five components representing key elements of the Norse Greenlandic and modern Inuit farming cultures. They are both distinct and both pastoral farming cultures located on the climatic edges of viable agriculture, depending on a combination of farming, pastoralism and marine mammal hunting. • It is the earliest introduction of farming to the Arctic. • Source: UNESCO, Kujataa Greenland: Norse and Inuit Farming at the Edge of the Ice Cap (2017), https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1536/ Threats to the Kujataa UNESCO World Heritage Site 2 The site Source: UNESCO World Heritage Centre Threats to the Kujataa UNESCO World Heritage Site 3 The site Kujataa Greenland: Norse and Inuit Farming at the Edge of the Ice Cap.

  • Faroe Islands and Greenland 2008
    N O R D I C M E D I A T R E N D S 10 Media and Communication Statistics Faroe Islands and Greenland 2008 Compiled by Ragnar Karlsson NORDICOM UNIVERSITY OF GOTHENBURG 2008 NORDICOM’s activities are based on broad and extensive network of contacts and collaboration with members of the research community, media companies, politicians, regulators, teachers, librarians, and so forth, around the world. The activities at Nordicom are characterized by three main working areas. Media and Communication Research Findings in the Nordic Countries Nordicom publishes a Nordic journal, Nordicom Information, and an English language journal, Nordicom Review (refereed), as well as anthologies and other reports in both Nordic and English langu- ages. Different research databases concerning, among other things, scientific literature and ongoing research are updated continuously and are available on the Internet. Nordicom has the character of a hub of Nordic cooperation in media research. Making Nordic research in the field of mass communication and media studies known to colleagues and others outside the region, and weaving and supporting networks of collaboration between the Nordic research communities and colleagues abroad are two prime facets of the Nordicom work. The documentation services are based on work performed in national documentation centres at- tached to the universities in Aarhus, Denmark; Tampere, Finland; Reykjavik, Iceland; Bergen, Norway; and Göteborg, Sweden. Trends and Developments in the Media Sectors in the Nordic Countries Nordicom compiles and collates media statistics for the whole of the Nordic region. The statistics, to- gether with qualified analyses, are published in the series, Nordic Media Trends, and on the homepage.

We focus on cross-institutional and cross-country partnerships between preparedness institutions and companies. We elaborate on the operational crisis management of joint emergency operations including several parts of the preparedness system and resources from several countries. The project goals are: • To increase understanding of the future demands for preparedness systems in the High North including both search and rescue, oil spill recovery, fire fighting and salvage, as well as capacities fighting terror or other forms of destructive action. • To study partnerships and coordination challenges related to cross-border, multi-task emergency cooperation • To contribute with organizational tools for crisis management Project characteristics: Financial support: -Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, -the Nordland county Administration -University partners.
