Abstract
This report, commissioned by the Arctic Council to inform negotiations, is a compilation of works from 252 scientists and numerous holders of traditional knowledge. The Arctic Biodiversity Assessment addresses the status and trends in populations of Arctic flora and fauna, and the report focuses on the rapid changes taking place in the Arctic in relation to climate change, expansion of industry, animal relocations, and pollution. WCS Canada's Dr. Don Reid is a lead author of the Mammals chapter which details what is known regarding substantial changes in distribution and abundance of Arctic mammals over the past 50 years, which has been more intense in marine than terrestrial species.
