King Frederik visited fishermen and hunters in Attu village in West Greenland on 2 July, 2024. In advance, the fishermen and hunters were informed that the king would like to hear about their experiences with community-based environmental monitoring. Since 2014, the fishermen and hunters in Attu have followed what happens to the living resources and nature in their area as part of Greenland Government’s community-based monitoring programme PISUNA (Piniakkanik Sumiiffinni Nalunaarsuineq).
