  • SEABIRD HARVEST REGIMES in the CIRCUMPOLAR NATIO:NS Aboutcaff
    CAFF Technical Report No.9 SEABIRD HARVEST REGIMES IN THE CIRCUMPOLAR NATIO:NS AboutCAFF The program for the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) of the Arctic Council was established to address the special needs of Arctic ecosystems, species and their habitats in the rapidly developing Arctic region. It was initiated as one of four programs of the Arctic Environmental Protection Strategy (AEPS) which was adopted by Canada, Denmark/Greenland, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Sweden and the United States through a Ministerial Declaration at Rovaniemi, Finland in 1991 . Other programs initiated under the AEPS and overtaken by the Arctic Council are the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP), the program for Emergency Prevention, Preparedness and Response (EPPR) and the program for Protection of the Arctic Marine Environment (PAME). Since its inaugural meeting in Ottawa, Canada in 1992, the CAFF program has provided scientists, conservation managers and groups, and indigenous people of the north with a distinct forum in which to tackle a wide range of Arctic conservation issues at the circumpolar leveL CAFF's main goals, which are achieved in keeping with the concepts of sustainable development and utilisation, are: to conserve Arctic flora and fauna, thei r diversity and their habitats; to protect the Arctic ecosystems from threats; to improve conservation management laws, regulations and practices for the Arctic; to integrate Arctic interests into global conservation fora. CAFF operates through a system of Designated Agencies and National Representatives responsible for CAFF in their respective countries. CAFF also has an lnternatilonal Working Group which meets regularly to assess progress.
