Arctic communities
Arctic communities are groups of people living in the northernmost regions of the world, primarily within the Arctic Circle. These communities often include Indigenous peoples, such as the Inuit, Sámi, and Chukchi, who have adapted to the harsh climate and unique environment. Their lifestyles are closely tied to the land, relying on traditional practices like hunting, fishing, and gathering.
Many Arctic communities face challenges due to climate change, which affects their environment and way of life. Melting ice, changing wildlife patterns, and increased shipping traffic impact their resources and cultural practices. Efforts are being made to preserve their traditions and adapt to these changes while promoting sustainable development.
