The burning of fossil fuels has began causing a faster pace in climate change

We can contribute to reduce the pace of climate change by:

Using cars less

Reducing our use of energy (or using it efficiently)

Recycling

This is because ice is a key characteristic of this biome & it is needed by polar bears, as well as other animals.

One of the primary issues affecting this biome’s biodiversity is climate change

In the past few year, we have seen more of how climate change is affecting these animals

The ice is melting at a faster rate and it has become more noticeable recently

This could not only have an impact on the Arctic, but it will affect all of us as well

It could mean a rise in sea level or change in temperature

Another animal that is at risk of being endangered is the arctic fox

The arctic fox and polar bear both compete for Caribou

They both consume this animal, therefore they both need it in their ecosystem to eat

# data[].attributes.body
One example of a predator-prey:

Polar Bears and Seals

The seal would be a consumer

Causing the Polar Bear, who is an apex consumer, to eat the seal.

Seal = prey

Polar Bear= predator

There are few/ no trees in this biome

This biome is made up of many large mammals

Ex: polar bears, arctic foxes, musk ox

Climate change is having a big affect on this biome

# data[].attributes.body
Its current status is vulnerable

Some things that are threatening this species are climate change and loss of sea ice habitat

If the polar bear was to go extinct the seal population would increase because there would be no polar bears that would eat them.

However, this would then decrease the fish population as the seals would eat them.

# data[].attributes.body
Polar Bears rely on ice as they use it to as a way to hunt seals

Not only that but ice is essential to the habitat of many other creatures above and below sea level
