Endangered Animals of the Arctic Tundra

Short-tailed Albatross

How are they endangered?

• The main reason for this animal's endangerment is habitat loss. ⋅This is because they make their homes on volcanic locations, and eruptions often destroy the homes.
• They are also endangered by humans with our fishing nets. They get snared very easily in those left around.

Humans are, however, helping by setting up sites by dormant volcanoes to ensure their safety. These protected areas are already being filled by the birds.

The Eskimo Curlew

Why are they endangered?

• Similar to the Albatross, the main cause of endangerment is habitat loss. This mainly has to do with conversion to agricultural lands.
• As of 2016, there is estimated to be less than 60 individual birds

This species is protected by the Ontario, Manitoba, and Newfoundland and Labrador Endangered Species Acts and the Wildlife Acts in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia.

That's all for today on Endangered Species, folks!
