    SSED, Brochure Tundra Eco

    The polar regions have specialized biomes called tundra regions that have extreme and inhospitable climates due to low temperatures and lack of sunlight. Only 2% of all known animal and plant life can survive in these conditions. The specialized life that has adapted to tundra biomes over millions of years is now threatened by climate change, as warming temperatures cause 75% of total ice to melt within two decades. This is altering the environment and challenging the survival of endemic Arctic species like the polar bear, as oil drilling also reduces their habitat.
