Abstract

Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) is the biodiversity working group of the Arctic Council. CAFF conducts Monitoring, Assessment, Policy, and expert group activities to preserve Arctic biodiversity and ensure the sustainability of biological resources and communicates the results to governments and indigenous peoples. The main tasks of CAFF consist of monitoring (Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program), assessment (Arctic Biodiversity Assessment) and strategic projects(Arctic Migratory Bird Initiative, AMBI). Korea has been directly participating in the AMBI since 2015 after acquiring observer status of the Arctic Council in 2013. The AMBI aims to preserve habitats on migration routes used by breeding birds in the Arctic and prevent illegal hunting. Thus, observer countries on migratory routes are directly participating in the project. When selecting priorities for participation in Arctic cooperation projects by 2030, Korea should consider continuing participation in AMBI and participating in the "CAFF Youth Program" in connection with the Arctic Academy program operated by Korea's public institutes.

북극 이사회 산하 "북극동식물보전 워킹그룹"은 북극 생물다양성을 보전하고 생물자원의 지속가능성을 보장하기 위해 모니터링, 평가, 정책, 전문가 그룹 활동을 수행하고 그 결과를 정부들과 북극원주민들에게 전달한다. 북극 동식물보전 워킹그룹의 주요업무는 모니터링, 평가, 전략 사업으로 구성되어 있다. 주요 모니터링 사업은 "환북극 생물다양성 모니터링 (해양, 담수, 육상, 연안) 프로그램", 평가 사업은 "북극생물다양성평가", 전략 사업은 "북극철 새이니셔티브"이다. 우리나라는 2013년 북극 이사회 옵서버 국가 지위 획득 후 2015년부터 북극철새이니셔티브 사업에 직접 참여하고 있다. 북극철새이니셔티브는 북극에서 번식하는 철새들이 이용하는 전 세계 이동경로 상의 서식지를 보전하고 불법 사냥을 방지하는 것이 목적이다. 따라서, 철새 이동경로상의 옵서버 국가들이 직접적으로 사업에 참여하고 있다. 우리나라는 2030년까지 북극협력사업 참여를 위한 우선순위 선정 시 기존에 참여하고 있는 북극 철새이니셔티브와 국내 공공기관들이 운영 중인 북극 관련 아카데미 프로그램을 활용해 "CAFF 청년 프로그램" 참여 방안을 고려할 필요가 있다.
