Collaborations with the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Geological Survey, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, multiple non-profit organizations, and many others have yielded scenario projections of shifting ecosystems that will aid in planning future resource, land, and wildlife management. A variety of SNAP services and approaches make information accessible to a wide spectrum of stakeholders with varying levels of technical expertise.
SNAP continues to build a powerful collaborative network of key scientific, social and economic institutions from around the world, applying the combined expertise towards a better understanding of the future dynamics of the Arctic. Contact us if you are interested in joining the SNAP network.
Alaska Center for Climate Assessment & Policy
Fairbanks, AK USA
ACCAP and SNAP have formed an important partnership in assessing the current state and future of conditions in Alaska.
Since 2008, SNAP has teamed up with the Alaska Center for Climate Assessment & Policy (ACCAP) to provide Alaskans with the climate change science and understanding required to effectively plan for the future and the inherent uncertainties of what lies ahead. This collaborative approach has not only yielded significant benefit for Alaska stakeholders, but has also enabled SNAP and ACCAP to leverage resources to the benefit of both organizations while preserving programmatic independence. SNAP and ACCAP collaborate on multiple projects that are currently funded through the next 3–5 years. These projects help to: (1) strengthen collaborative ties between the two programs, which increases leveraging power, and (2) build capacity to develop, analyze, and communicate climate change data, research, and information.

Arctic Landscape Conservation Cooperative
Anchorage, AK USA
The Arctic Landscape Conservation Collaborative (ALCC) supports conservation in the arctic by providing applied science and tools to land managers and policy makers. Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs) are a network of 24 public-private partnerships throughout the US that provide shared science to ensure the sustainability of America’s land, water, wildlife and cultural resources. The geographic scope of the Arctic LCC ranges across North America from Alaska to Labrador. The Alaska portion encompasses three eco-regions: the Brooks Range, the Arctic Foothills, and the Arctic Coastal Plain.The conservation goals of the Arctic LCC are: to provide information on, and predict effects of, climate driven changes and other landscape stressors; determine how climate driven changes affect subsistence users; and provide improved data and information access to managers and policy makers.

Ducks Unlimited Canada
Stonewall, MB Canada
Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) has been committed to wetland conservation for more than 70 years. Despite this, wetland loss continues across Canada. Up to 70% of wetlands have disappeared in settled areas of the country. DUC—a national, private, non-profit organization—is committed to conserving Canada's wetlands. It’s a responsibility DUC does not take lightly. DUC’s conservation efforts take many forms. On-the-ground work is guided by the wetland and waterfowl research of DUC’s scientists. DUC works to change policy in favor of wetland and habitat conservation. DUC also delivers wetland and environmental education programs to teach Canadians about wetlands and the need to conserve them. As a non-profit organization, DUC relies on the support of Canadians from across the country. DUC’s dedicated volunteers, members and staff work very hard to help DUC in achieving its conservation mission and vision.
