Review of plastic pollution policies of Arctic countries in relation to seabirds
Developing a program to monitor plastic pollution in seabirds in the pan-Arctic region.
The Arctic Migratory Birds Initiative (AMBI), is a project of the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF), the biodiversity working group of the Arctic Council. AMBI is designed to improve the conservation status and secure the long-term sustainability of declining Arctic breeding migratory bird populations. Through conservation of a shared natural and cultural resource, AMBI will have a positive impact on societies for whom migratory birds are a source of livelihood and spiritual inspiration.
La Iniciativa de Aves Migratorias del Ártico (“Arctic Migratory Bird Initiative” por su nombre en inglés, en adelante “AMBI”) es un proyecto de CAFF (“Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna”), el grupo de trabajo sobre biodiversidad del Consejo Ártico. AMBI fue concebido con el objetivo de mejorar el estatus de conservación y la sostenibilidad a largo plazo de las poblaciones en declive de aves migratorias que se reproducen en el Ártico (o, simplemente, aves migratorias árticas). A través de la conservación de este bien cultural y natural compartido, AMBI tendrá un impacto positivo en las sociedades para las cuales las aves migratorias son fuente de inspiración y medio de subsistencia.

REVISED
The Arctic Migratory Birds Initiative (AMBI) is designed to improve the conservation status and secure the long-term sustainability of declining Arctic breeding migratory bird populations. This work plan identifies key actions over four years.
AMBI will have a positive impact on societies for whom migratory birds are a source of livelihood and spiritual inspiration. AMBI also provides an early implementation of Recommendation #8 of the Arctic Biodiversity Assessment to reduce stressors on migratory species range-wide.
This report documents the results and next steps of the first Arctic Migratory Birds Initiative (AMBI) expert workshop that took place in Montreal, Canada on February 9th 2014.
