Ecological concerns: Global warming Pollution that causes smog and can affect lichen which is a good food source for many animals Human activity Ozone depletion at Poles causes stronger ultraviolet rays that will harm the tundra. Oil spills Exploration of oils and gas

Solutions for ecological concerns: Create park reserves protected areas and to restrict human activity Respect local cultures and limit tourism Use other energy uses to prevent global warming made by humans Don’t have lots of road construction, mining, and pipeline building near the tundra
