AUGUST 2008 UPDATE August 2008 News After constant internet hacker attacks since February 2007 the Snowchange homepages are opened again. Due to a move in our headquarters and intensive fieldwork of Autumn and Spring 2008 period the webpages have not been adequately updated. We are sorry for that. Currently Snowchange is proceeding in preparations of the Snowchange 2008 activities for December 2008 with the Maori peoples. As well, a new community-based initiative will be launched to work with the Saami Council on the environmental changes of Kola Peninsula in Autumn 2008. Additionally the 2007-2008 has seen a new exciting community partnership between the nomadic reindeer peoples of Lower Kolyma Region of Kolyma River in Sakha-Yakutia, Snowchange and the Barefoot College, led by Honorable mr. Bunker Roy in India. The focus of this activity is to solar electrify the nomadic camps of the Lower Kolyma on the terms of the communities. Please contact us if you are interested in this project. More updates WILL be available now more often on these pages!
Snowchange is a not-for-profit independent cooperative organisation with headquarters in Finland. The international community network of Snowchange spans all eight Arctic states. Most of the member communities and families are from the various Arctic Indigenous Nations and other subsistence communities. Our work involves working with the various Northern areas and peoples on the topics of ecological, especially climatic and weather changes from the scientific and traditional knowledge point of view. In addition to the community documentation Snowchange as well works to advance local Indigenous knowledge in the global context and advance decolonisation of the North in the face of rapid changes.The scientific priority of Snowchange is currently in the following areas of the North: - The Saami territories of Finland, Russia, Sweden and Norway - Republic of Sakha-Yakutia, Murmansk and Republic of Karelia in Russian Federation - Savo, North Karelia and Kainuu, Finland - Iceland and Faroe Islands - British Columbia, Northwest Territories and Nunavut, Canada - Alaska, USA In addition to the operations in all Arctic countries (United States / Alaska, Canada, Iceland, Greenland and Faroe Islands (Denmark), Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russian Federation) Snowchange has partners in Bolivia, Nepal, Ghana and New Zealand. You can ask more about the new partnerships and existing networks from the Head of International Affairs Tero Mustonen |
