Glacial Recession and Landscape Changes (Animation)

As climate warms and glaciers melt, mountain systems, and the downstream communities they serve, are losing an important source of fresh water.

Of major concern is the potential loss of alpine and subalpine environments that provide prime habitat for plants such as Jones Columbine and White Mountain Avens, animals like bighorn sheep and mountain goats, and winter hibernation space for bears. Mountain Goat Jones Columbine Pika

According to the Montana Bureau of Business and Economic Research (MBBER), temperature changes have already had an impact on Montana’s tourism industry. impact Recent low summer flows along certain streams and rivers has forced the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife & Parks to close some of the state’s most storied streams to fishing. Climate Change and our Economy Ski resorts will likely experience shorter seasons
