ClIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS IN THE RUSSIAN ARCTIC
■ changes in the condition of stationary polynyas;
■ changes in the vegetation;
■ degradation of permafrost and coastal erosion.
Develop preventive measures aimed at conservation of species and eco-
systems outside protected areas in the conditions of changing climate, with
particular attention to prevention of alien species invasions.
Introduce special shipping and aircraft ight rules for areas of stationary
polynyas and seasonal aggregations of mammals and birds.
Ensure the enforcement of environmental legislation in Arctic, in particular
by means of:
■ energizing and expanding efforts to combat poaching;
■ facilitating strict compliance with rules and restrictions regarding the use
of off-road vehicles in tundra during the snow-free period, and promoting the use of state-of-the-art vehicles less damaging to soil and vegetation cover, in particular, vehicles with large low-pressure tires.
Support continuation and expansion of activities of voluntary local groups
like WWF’s Polar Bear Patrol, thus helping identify the most signicant habitats of rare and endangered species, including polar bear and walrus, organize
observations and recording of polar bear encounters, carry out environmental
awareness raising activities, and prevent animal-human conicts.
Energize environmental awareness raising activities aimed at local com-
munities, explaining goals and objectives of protected areas, value of Arctic
ecosystems, particularly under the conditions of climate change, and services delivered by these ecosystems.
Monitoring and early warning systems, timely update
of prognoses and planned measures
Strengthen the system of early warning of hazardous hydrometeorological
phenomena. These activities should be based, in particular, on meteorological stations and posts of state strict nature reserves and national parks.

SEARCHING FOR WAYS FOR ADAPTATION
Develop an integrated information and analytical system on the state of the
Arctic environment, covering natural ecosystems (particularly marine and
coastal), biotopes, landscapes, and species. Such system can be used as an
instrument to assess the state of the natural environment, predict changes in
this state, and support decision-making in various sectors of environmental
protection and nature use.
Ensure appropriate support of scientic studies and forecasting of climate
changes and their effects in the Arctic.
Make provisions for a regular review of the effectiveness of the SPNA
strengthening and biodiversity conservation measures, as well as a timely
update of these measures based on the most recent scientic data.
