Dirty Airt
=== Not many people live in the tundra but they still make negative impacts on the tundra.The tundra is rich in many minerals and resources, so the humans mine to get them. But when they do they release smog in the air and the smog is bad for humans, plants, and animals. Because of all the mining that the humans do the more dirty air they release. So the more air they release the more that gets all in the air and the more it effects the living things in the tundra. ===

Refuge for Wild Life
=== In the tundra people are making wiild life refuge to help save the animals in the tundra so that they are not in danger. This is an area that humans cant hunt, mine, or do anything that could harn the animals in the refuge. A reguge is like a a nateral perserve but there is not a lot of touring so the animals will not be diterbed so they can live a life without the humans bothering them. They do this to protect all sorts of animals in the tundra life polor bears, caribu herds, and many birds so they can be safe so they wont be endangered. ===

=﻿ Oil Spills =

=== Rich oil deposits was one of the many natural resources found in Tundra area causing a new breed of fortune hunters to come to Alaska. On May 23, 1911 there was a huge Oil spill in the Arctic ocean. This spill affected all of the wildlife greatly, tens of thousands of seabirds, arctic salmon, herring, and halbut were killed from a disaster that wouldn't have happened except for the intervention of man. An estimate was made that 100,000 birds died in the oil spill, something that could have been avoided. Even though the bulk of the oil was finally cleaned up, some of it still lingers there. The animal population is still lower than before the oil spill. === = ﻿ Development =

=== Tundra Environment is getting worse each day because people are developing new homes, shacks, and even cottages for staying which is leading to avalanches, snow melting early, dams. Also it means there will be a shorter growing season, less water/snow, and scientists believe there will be lack of sunlight. Conservation rangers of the tundra are trying to avoid this in present time as well as the future by outlawing the tundra for living or limiting the land for sale. ===
