13. SCIENCE ROLE Arctic data base More knowledge
Risk management and development scenarios
Human dimension

14. TK as any knowledge means consistency and integrity of the perception of the world
TK are in demand, significant and implemented on a personal level and in the community if they are perceived as a whole in the state policy
When conditions change negatively it leads to degradation of knowledge.
Preservation and promotion of TK as cultural rights as the right to language - fundamental human rights.

15. Many language issues are not linguistic in nature – they have legal and political implications. TK and ethnic languages ​​are primarily concerned with the scope mx application in practice. Traditional culture based on traditional nature use incl reindeer herding, fishing, hunting. Basis of preservation of TK and linguistic heritage is the need to preserve the traditional nature use and lands. Participation of indigenous youth in collecting, recording and dissemination of traditional knowledge

Traditional land users have little influence over the development of oil and gas
Replacement of traditional food by market food will seriously affect the health and the general wellbeing of the indigenous population.
