  1. The problem is that animals are dying.We cause the problem because we drill in the smooth surface of the tundra.The effects of the problem are that if you drill in the permafrost of a tundra some nests of animals like migrating birds would be destroyed
    so they wont have a place to live.We can stop the problem by don't drilling in the tundras of the world

    1. sincerely i was so sad when my mom was diagnosed with ALS before November of 2018, since the prognosis she has lost the ability to speak, struggles to chew and swallow, her arm strength is minimal on her best days and she’s loosing control of her balance and neck muscles. She has began to decline not only in health but mentally as well as she has given up the fight it seems, i couldn’t just watch my mom dying so i decided to go into the internet for a possible solution and luckily i saw a Facebook post singing the praises of a herbal formula from prophet Dr James herbal clinic that someone with ALS used and got cured and quickly contacted the email ( jamesherbalformula@ gmail. com ) and order for the formula and since she started using the formula my mom have recovered greatly. am so happy and thanks James for reviving my mom. you can contact him for the ALS herbal formula via his above email and also add him on hangout or through his whatsapp number +2348102574680 Regards

  2. THe problem is that changing of enviroment so the animals that live in there, or are adapt to the froze die.
    Us humans we are destroyng the world so the permafrost melt and animals die.
    They would´t survive and they going to get exting.
    We can helped animals in the tundra, by not smoking and stop to work the factories so we wont contaminate the world.

  3. Tundra

    We have to help animals of the tundra. What's happening it's that by global warming animals are diening and with polution. we can cure this by using little a very amount little cars in factories don't use too much smokeof factories and cars.

  4. The problem is that global warming is doing a lot of damage to the tundra. Cars and smoke are causing the polution. The effects are that the temperature is higher so snow melts and the animals die. Not using so much the cars, The factory dont produce so much smoke.

  5. There is a problem, the tundra is melting. What causes the tundra to melt is the global warming caused by humans. If the tundra melts the tundra animals would die and that would change the world. We could stop the problem getting worst by saving the world ( reciclyng, save trees, less smoke, less petrolium and ect.)

  6. People that work in oil companies are making a lot of buildings. Before doing the building they need to cut the plants that are in the area where they are going to cosntruct. After they construct, animals that are migrating can´t go that way so they can stay without food and die. Another thing that can happen is that animals can freeze and die. We can stop this problem by not getting oil from the tundra.

    Another big problem is that when people are getting oil sometimes the oil spills on the tundra an into the sea killing animals and plants. We can stop this problem by not getting oil from the tundra.

    Another problem is that in the tundra there are some species that just exist there. Hunters like to go and hunt the animals that just exist there. This is causing a lot of species to be endangered. Some of these species are the artic fox, the wolves and the moose. We can stop this by not hunting animals in the tundra.

  9. The problem is that some people don't care about animals and they kill the animals. This is caused because people thinkanimals are not important. The effects are that animals will get extinct and the earth will start colapcing. To stop this we need to treet animals good because they also have a live.

  10. The problem is global warming.The effects are the temperature is going up so the snow melts and the animals die. The problwm is caused by contamination and pollution of the garbage and smoke. We can throw garbage always to a garbagecan or use less the smoke things to revert the problem

  11. The problem today is that with global warming the snow is melting and the animals that live near the north and south pole are dying because they cannot find food, an example is the polar bear.

  12. The problem the tundra is facing today is global warming that is melting the snow. Humans produce global warming with the smoke and cutting the trees and contaminating.The effects of the global warmming is that the poles are melting and the oxygen of the wolrd is lowering.People can stop global warmming saving resorces and not contaminating.

  13. Problems of Tundra

    Below the tundra there is a layer called permafrost. Some of the world's big problems start here.
    One of the big problems of the tundra start in Alaska with the oil companies. The oil companies produce much of the oil for the continent for this they need to build roads. The roads and the cars and trucks on the roads which produce smoke create a pollution problem and cause global warming.
    The effects of the problem are:animals will die,the temperature will go up and the glaciars will melt. The tundra may disappear and there will be a lot of pollution on earth.

    We can prevent this problem by not drilling and building in the tundra zone.

  15. HUNTING , A PROBLEM IN THE TUNDRA.
    Hunting is a problem in the tundra, because some rare species are only in the tundra, so that is why hunters go there. The effects of hunting is that some cute animals can get endangered like artic foxes, moose and wolves are in danger too. We can tell people the problem of the tundra and the effects, doing a group in facebook that is named save the animals in the tundra, don’t go hunting there.

  16. The problem is that the Tundra cold floors are starting to melt and that makes the Tundra animals die. What causes this problem is the amount of smoke we produce, that makes the global warming stronger and stronger, that means that if the hot sun gets very very hot the worlds Tundra Biome can disapear. We can help this biome to live if we creat ecological machines, that we can work with.
