In recent years, international attention has focused on the Arctic as a critical zone for global environmental change, due to concern over global warming, atmospheric pollution, ozone depletion, overfishing, & uncontrolled resource extraction. With the internationalization of the circumpolar north through quests for natural resources & the growth of capitalist markets, the importance of the correct use of natural resources & proper ways forward for Arctic environmental protection has given rise to intense debate. Yet, despite the diversity of the indigenous peoples & cultures of this area, science-based resource management systems designed to safeguard wildlife & the Arctic environment have, for the most part, ignored indigenous perspectives. Protecting the Arctic explores some of the ways in which indigenous peoples have taken political action regarding Arctic environmental & sustainable development issues, & investigates the involvement of indigenous peoples in international environmental policy-making. Nuttall illustrates how indigenous peoples make claims that their own forms of resource management not only have relevance in an Arctic regional context, but provide models for the inclusion of indigenous values & environmental knowledge in the design, negotiation & implementation of global environmental policy.
