Introduction The Arctic region is home to a unique and diverse assembly of land animals specially adapted to survive in its extreme conditions. However, climate change, habitat loss, and other human-related pressures are increasingly threatening these species. Understanding the conservation statuses of Arctic land animals is crucial for recognizing the urgent need for focused protection […]

The Arctic is one of the most extreme and challenging environments on Earth, home to some of the most remarkable and resilient animals. Among them, polar bears and Arctic wolves stand out not only for their impressive survival skills but also for their coexistence in this frozen wilderness. Despite being top predators with overlapping territories,

The tundra is one of the most extreme and fragile ecosystems on Earth, characterized by its cold temperatures, limited vegetation, and permafrost soil. Despite these harsh conditions, it supports a unique and carefully balanced web of life. At the heart of this ecosystem are the interactions between predators and their prey, which play critical roles

The effects of climate change are increasingly evident in fragile Arctic ecosystems. Small mammals such as the Arctic hare and collared lemming play critical roles in this environment, serving as prey for numerous predators and influencing vegetation dynamics. Understanding how climate change affects these species helps us grasp broader ecological shifts and the sustainability of

Greenland, the world’s largest island, is a land of extreme conditions marked by its vast icy expanse and unique arctic ecosystems. Despite much of its land being ice-covered, Greenland hosts a variety of species adapted to its cold and often harsh environment. These species are distributed unevenly across Greenland’s regions, influenced by factors such as

Introduction As climate change accelerates, understanding future sea level rise is vital for coastal communities, policymakers, and scientists alike. Greenland and Antarctica hold the most significant potential for contributing to sea level increases due to their vast ice sheets. Predicting how much these ice bodies will melt by 2100 involves complex models that consider temperature

Melting ice, driven by climate change, is reshaping marine ecosystems in profound ways. As polar and glacial ice diminish, the resulting environmental shifts cascade through marine food webs, influencing species distribution, abundance, and interactions. These changes ripple out to affect fisheries worldwide, with significant ecological and economic implications. Understanding how melting ice alters marine food

Introduction The Arctic is among the fastest-warming regions on Earth, leading to rapid and profound impacts on its terrestrial ecosystems. As temperatures rise and permafrost thaws, the habitats that sustain specialized Arctic species are undergoing significant transformations. These shifts in terrestrial habitats pose both challenges and opportunities for biodiversity in the region. Critical to the

Climate change is rapidly altering habitats worldwide, pushing many species to shift their geographic ranges toward the poles in search of suitable conditions. This phenomenon, known as poleward range shift, presents profound challenges to biodiversity and ecosystem stability. While some species can adapt and move, others face heightened vulnerability due to their biological traits, ecological

Climate change, overfishing, and environmental degradation are significantly threatening fish stocks and the livelihoods of coastal communities around the world. As these pressures intensify, adopting effective adaptation strategies is critical to sustaining marine biodiversity and securing the wellbeing of people who depend on fishing resources. This article explores a range of approaches—from policy reforms and
