Arctic wolf

The Arctic wolf is endangered because of its very fine pelt which is wanted by many hunters. It needs to be saved and put under hunters restriction before it becomes extinct forever.

Industrial development also poses a threat to the wolf, as an increasing number of mines, roads and pipelines encroach on the wolf’s territory, and interrupt its food supply.

However, the greatest threat to the Arctic wolf is climate change. Extreme weather variations in recent years have reduced the traditional food supply of the Arctic wolf (populations of muskox and Arctic doesn't find food and decline in numbers).

 

The Arctic wolf is a sub-species of the grey wolf and lives in the Arctic regions of North America and Greenland.
