The 25 Largest Un-fragmented Wilderness Areas in the Arctic

@techreport{citeulike:1023057, abstract = {In 2000 the World Wildlife Fund’s (WWF) Arctic Programme called upon GRID-Arendal and UNEP-WCMC to produce a new report on Arctic wilderness by analysing impact of man-made infrastructure on nature and define the 25 largest wilderness areas, following the work done in 1995 on the same subject. However, the result of this project, this Arctic Wilderness report should not be seen as the exact reflection of present-day wilderness status in the Arctic. While efforts have been made to improve the base data used in the analysis, as stated, the overall DCW dataset is of course outdated, but was the only public global dataset that could be used for our purposes. The results therefore reflect more the situation 10-15 years ago.. However, some recent development in the American Arctic might not been captured this way. Practical experience showed that in order to achieve full coverage of the Arctic with newer, better, larger scale digital geographic base infrastructure data that is also publicly available would require another year or even more from now. The resources needed for this are much larger as the frame of the present project would have allowed.}, author = {Lysenko, Igor and Z\"{o}ckler, Christoph and Czaran, Lorant }, citeulike-article-id = {1023057}, howpublished = {Unpublished}, institution = {UNEP-WCMC}, keywords = {biodiversity, conservation, fragmentation, habitats, protectedareas}, month = {December}, organization = {UNEP-WCMC, UNEP/GRID-Arendal, WWF Arctic Programme}, pages = {1--109}, posted-at = {2007-01-03 09:14:28}, priority = {0}, publisher = {UNEP-WCMC}, title = {The 25 Largest Un-fragmented Wilderness Areas in the Arctic}, year = {2001} }
