WWF International Arctic Programme
Since 1992, WWF's International Arctic Programme
has been working with our partners across the Arctic to preserve
this region’s rich biodiversity in a sustainable way. In
that context, WWF believes that tourism represents an opportunity
and positive force to support the protection of the arctic environment.
Tourism activities can be conducted responsibly so that visitors
learn to appreciate and respect arctic nature and cultures, as
well as provide an additional income to local communities and
traditional lifestyles.
WWF has been working on arctic tourism issues and with industry,
researchers, authorities and communities since 1995, and together
with the State of Alaska and the Alaska Wilderness Recreation
and Tourism Association laid the foundation for SMART.
