The project is led by the University of Tromsø, with FNI responsible for providing legal advice during the design of various parts of the project and legal assessments on the basis of data generated by and analyses carried out within the project. > More information on the TUNDRA website Project leader at FNI: Ole Kristian Fauchald Project period: 2010-2013 Top		Related focal points of research:   Biodiversity and biosafety   Polar and Russian politics Project funding:   Research Council of Norway, Environment2015 Programme External cooperation partners:   University of Tromsø
