Abstract
The Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Programme published the State of the Arctic Terrestrial Biodiversity Report (START) in May 2021. The START assessed the status and trends of terrestrial Focal Ecosystem Components (FECs)—including vegetation, arthropods, birds, and mammals—across the Arctic and identified monitoring gaps and recommendations. There is currently a large gap in our knowledge and understanding of the arthropod fauna of the Arctic, and for large areas of the Arctic little is known about pollinators. An Arctic Pollinator Expert Network is needed to share information and increase coordination on pollinator monitoring and to implement START monitoring recommendations.
On 22 February 2022, there was a CAFF Arctic Pollinator Monitoring Virtual Workshop. Workshop objectives included: 1) improved understanding of current and future Arctic pollinator monitoring efforts, 2) increased awareness, support, and implementation of START monitoring recommendations for pollinators, and 3) strengthened relationships. This document is a list of biographic information from many of the workshop participants.
