According to a recent study, temperatures above the Arctic Circle have risen at almost twice the rate as the rest of the world in the last century.............. Not only is climate change in the Arctic awakening ancient viruses and opening up new areas for governments to drill for resources, but it’s also causing allowing many more Arctic mosquitoes to survive and attack anything with a pulse............Accordingly, Caribou are spending more time running to cooler and windier northern sections of the Arctic, expending fat reserves in the process.........Compounding this stress, is that Calf birthing is coinciding with Mosquito swarming, leaving both mother and calves vulnerable to a blood sucking assault by the insects

The Arctic Now Has a Big Mosquito Problem

The bugs are growing bigger and living longer thanks to climate change....Challenge increasing for Caribou accordingly!
