Community Based Monitoring Programs in the Arctic explores the concept and use of community-based monitoring (CBM) of ecological conditions in the Arctic. The authors analyze current programs and determines that CBM, while widespread and effective, nonetheless still has untapped potential. Presenting numerous examples and substantial data from a pan-Arctic survey and several workshops around the Arctic, Ths book offers a state of the field and a guide for mapping out the next steps.

The manuscript is the first to my knowledge that compiles so much information from so many CBM efforts in one place. (…) With this report in hand, proponents of CBM projects should be able to address most objections to their ideas, while also refining their approaches to reflect what has and hasn’t worked elsewhere. It is thus valuable for practitioners as well as scholars, and for those considering funding or partnering with CBM efforts, who will be able to better distinguish well-conceived efforts from half-baked proposals. (…) Its clear-headed advice and ideas should also appeal to those involved in CBM elsewhere in the world. (…) This makes a major contribution to turning CBM from a politically correct afterthought to ‘real’ science, into a rigorous and respected practice in its own right. - Henry P. Huntington
The issues of better integrating CBM programs with government agency programs and ensuring that decision-making processes not only use those data but also respect the rights of resource-dependent communities to shape decision making are two key and timely themes that are placed front and center in this manuscript. This will make the publication a key contribution in CBM literature. - Kirsten M. Silvius
