Summary of the Action:
The ITEK knowledge synthesis could take the form of an infographic or a series of infographics and could be shared on the Polar Bear Range States (PBRS) website. This will allow the Heads of Delegations (HoDs) and other Circumpolar Action Plan (CAP) Operating Teams and Working Groups (WG) to use what ITEK is available when undertaking their activities and actions. The knowledge synthesis may also help the HoDs identify gaps in ITEK of polar bears, which could in turn inform coordination and planning of research and monitoring.
