Physical-Geographical Regions Classifications

When the Ministers of the Arctic countries adapted the Arctic
Environmental Protection Strategy (AEPS) in 1991, they signalled out
habitat conservation as an area for special attention. Consequently
when the International Working Group for the Conservation of Arctic
Flora and Fauna (CAFF) met at its inaugural meeting in 1992, it
included Arctic habitat conservation as a priority in its Work
Plan. Norway, on behalf of the eight Arctic countries, accepted the
task of examining the current status of habitat protection within the
Arctic countries as the first phase of CAFF's long-term strategy on
habitat.

Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) project.
