The ArcticRaptors project builds on the success of the Rankin Inlet Study and well established  partnerships with the Government of Nunavut, the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board, ArcticNet Network of Centers of Excellence, the Canadian Circumpolar Institute at the University of Alberta and the University du Quebec Rimouski.

Our detailed study approach offers many advantages over other conventional survey techniques.  For example we are able to calculate of species-specific estimates of population level vital rates at local, regional and geographic scales, as well as comparison across these scales.  In addition, our study areas are situated along a north-south transect to accommodate evaluation of changes that may be driven by climate change.
