Yakutia CBM

Since 2017, Indigenous peoples’ communities in Yakutia, Russia, have been monitoring the environment using community-based monitoring (CBM) approaches. These efforts have helped provide Evenk communities in Zhigansk and Olenek districts with influence over the management of a number of subject areas related to natural resource management at both Republic and District level. The data collection may inform management decisions on living resources and provide an enriched understanding of ecological dynamics and relationships.
