Over the past year, the CARMA Network has made significant strides in Arctic research collaboration. Key achievements include the development of an International Polar Year proposal with Yukon College, submission of a summary report to CAFF, and animation of North American caribou movements, thanks to network contributions. We scoped data management needs, presented at the 11th North American Caribou Workshop, drafted body condition protocols, and compiled morphology and population data with Russian partners. Our joint proposal on climate change impacts is led by Greenland, and we arranged the third annual CARMA meeting while seeking support from Environment Canada.
