Request for Proposals | Technical and Analytical Support for Arctic Conservation: Research, GIS, Programming, and Web Application Development

The WWF Global Arctic Programme (GAP), based in Stockholm, Sweden, invites proposals from qualified individual contractors, teams, or organizations to support conservation planning efforts in the Arctic region. The scope of work includes data collection, processing, and spatial analysis (GIS), with a particular focus on Arctic Blue Corridors and ArcNet priority areas. We seek expertise in developing, maintaining, and enhancing web-based conservation decision-support tools and databases, such as ArcNet and its associated tools, as well as WWF GAP’s internal Arctic shipping database. These tools support strategic conservation planning and decision-making across the Arctic.
