Changing Perspectives: Abisko Values

Changing Perspectives - Assess Abisko Values is a collaboration between social sciences, natural sciences and arts to assess a new concept, termed ‘Nature’s Contribution to People’ (NCPs) and protect and improve the environments which support human life. The project engages citizen science, participatory ethnographic research, sound and visual arts projects in Abisko. This is an Arctic area of Sweden with vulnerable ecosystems and diverse, small community groups that are experiencing socio-environmental changes. It focuses on non-monetary valuation, context-dependency, interconnectedness with the wider ecology and individuality of cultural values.
