Environmental Pressure

Climate change is driving down populations of some Arctic tundra natives, such as caribou, by fostering an increase in parasites and disease while damaging food sources. Humans have also changed many things about the tundra biome. By things like ski resorts, mines, roads, hunting, oil drilling, pollution and many other things that are threatening wildlife to move. This is all causing many problems for the environment and for the animals that live there.
