Major Threats : Impact on Tundra
- Construction of buildings and roads ------------------> melting of permafrost
-Oil spills in nearby water ------------------> kills wildlife and damages ecosystem
-Drilling of gas, oil and minerals ------------------> physical disturbance & fragmentation in the habitat
-Global Warming ------------------> change in habitat and landscape
-Air pollution ------------------> contaminates food sources (ex- lichen)
-Greenhouse gases/ ozone damage -------------------> ultraviolet rays in north and south pole
Can we fix it??
- Control tourism and respect the tundra's land
-Restrict specific areas essential to the tundra
-Use different energy source to prevent global warming
-Limit greenhouse gases
-Minimize construction and other human activities in the habitat
