endangered species
Certain species of Arctic Fox populations have plummeted due to the threat of fur hunters in Russia, Norway, Finland, and Sweden.
The Caribou are suffering from habitat loss as a result of mining and road building in their environment.
The climate in the Tundra is rising from global warming, causing the ice to melt in the arctic homes of the Polar Bear. The melting of the ice leads to a lower seal population, the main food source for Polar Bears. This causes starvation for many of them, leading to a drastic downturn in the Polar Bear population.
