SILA BIOLOGY In Greenland, a special relationship between people and nature exists - i.e., the biology that we are surrounded by - and together with e.g., Pinngortitaleriffik we have created a bachelor program in biology with an emphasis on Greenland, Greenlandic nature and culture. SILA is a program, wherein nature is the framework and foundation to educate the coming generations in respectful management of biodiversity, in climate change and in the possibilities that exist - in the relations between human beings and nature that are unique in Greenland and the Arctic. The program is designed for the Greenlandic labor market and will provide students with concrete skills, which they can make use of as professional biologists in Greenland. 20 Shaping the Arctic
