Arctic Ecosystem

The Arctic ecosystem is a fragile environment in the northernmost part of the Earth, characterized by extreme cold, ice, and snow. It includes a variety of plants, animals, and microorganisms adapted to survive in such harsh conditions. Key species include polar bears, Arctic foxes, seals, and migratory birds, all of which rely on sea ice and cold waters for survival. The ecosystem is interconnected—changes in ice levels, driven by climate change, threaten the habitats and food sources of these species. Protecting the Arctic is essential to maintaining its unique biodiversity and global climate stability.
