🌊 July 15 is Arctic Sea Ice Day ❄️ A global reminder of the critical role sea ice plays in regulating our planet’s climate. Did you know climate change is making life more challenging for caribou? 🦌 Caribou rely on predictable seasons to find food, migrate safely and raise their calves. As the Arctic warms nearly three times faster than the rest of the world, winter rain can freeze into thick layers of ice, making it difficult for caribou to dig through the snow to reach the plants and lichens they depend on. Thawing permafrost and unstable river crossings can also make their long migrations more dangerous. Why is this happening? Think of Earth's atmosphere like a blanket. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide, making that blanket thicker and trapping more heat. As temperatures rise, Arctic ecosystems become less predictable, disrupting the seasonal timing that caribou have relied on for thousands of years. The good news? We can all help. 🌎 💙 Talk about climate cha...
