Welcome to the Tundra
The tundra is a treeless biome characterized by cold temperatures and short growing seasons. Despite its harsh conditions, a variety of wildlife calls the tundra home, including polar bears, arctic foxes, and reindeer.
Flora and Fauna
Though plant life is sparse, species such as mosses, lichens, and small shrubs can be found. The animals that reside in tundras are well-adapted to extreme cold, with thick fur and layers of fat to retain warmth.
Conservation Efforts
With the impacts of climate change, protection of these fragile ecosystems is more important than ever. Conservationists are working to preserve the unique biodiversity of tundras around the world.
