The tundra biome is one of the few biomes that interests me the most, and is also one of the many biomes that may be in danger. The tundra has many threats such as construction, Ozone depletion, oil spills, and air pollution. Almost 20% of the world is in a tundra area, which is housing many different animals and plant life depending on this type of biome. When construction happens, buildings and roads get created, while knocking everything down in the process.The construction causes the descruction of animal homes and plants and puts heat and pressure on the permafrost layer causing it to melt.To fix this,we should limit road construction if possible and mining activities, also cut off pipeline building in this habitat.

Another 40% were strokes and 11% from COPD. 6% were from lung cancer and lastly 3% were from acute lower respiratory problems with kids. Air pollution is a very big and dangerous problem in the world. Air pollutants such as heavy metals are being carried to the arctic by highly populated areas. Lichen are a very popular life form in the arctic and are the most vulnerable to air pollution since they don't have roots and rely on the air mostly. Air pollution has caused an arctic haze that deals with acid rain hitting the ground and melting the permafrost/snow. Effects of air pollution go with many other things/effects that are hard to pinpoint. New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services says that to reduce air pollution, we can try to save energy(turning lights and any other appliances off when not in use), avoid excessive idling in our cars , and to run the dishwasher and washer/dryer only when it's full. The tundra biome is beautiful and is filled with thriving plant life and animal life. The future of this biome is undecided yet I have hope that in the future there will be no problems like there are now. The tundra is visited by many people year round and will hopefully still be available years from now. We should stay aware of this beautiful place and protect it for generations to
