Our work in and around Arctic villages leads to close working relationships with community members. Through partnerships with the National Park Service and Alaska Geographic's Arctic Youth Ambassador Program, WCS Arctic Beringia has worked with Alaskan youth from these villages to create several short videos highlighting their perspectives on nature and conservation. These videos, and the experiences behind them, support the WCS:2020 strategic plan to Discover through science, Protect wild places, and Inspire the next generation of conservationists. With access to remote field sites, support from experts in science and media, and workshops in which to edit their raw footage into compelling and informative products, these youth not only learn new technical job skills, but are also empowered to tell their own stories.See more
