Arctic life, so diverse!

If lost, there's no reverse

We came to Trondheim to converse

And now we must act

We have many a fact

Many a conservation pact

More than one protected tract-

But our future needs more

There are threats by the score

Degradation we deplore

But also new ideas to explore-

So let's start now

Our plans tell us how

Add the sweat of our brow

So our hearts can say "Wow!"-

Arctic life: Stay diverse
