BASIN Account

Polar & Alpine ecosystems include tundra, polar regions, and high-elevation mountain systems.

Polar & Alpine ecosystems, housing diverse species like Arctic foxes, polar bears, seals, and birds, along with flora like lichens, mosses, and dwarf shrubs, offer unique biodiversity. They provide key services like carbon sequestration and water regulation, crucial to indigenous communities and carry immense spiritual and cultural significance. Yet, they face threats from climate change, oil drilling, and overfishing.
