Understanding permafrost and the changing tundra is a vital part to knowing what is really happening in our far north ecosystems.

Tundra is just one part of the puzzle to understanding how climate change is affecting the north. Parks Canada is working closely with Inuit communities to monitor how the tundra landscape is changing. By using science to establish trends we’ll be better equipped to track this changing ecosystem.
