The effects of climate change are already clearly visible in Greenland and Sweden. As glaciers melt and permafrost thaws, animals and humans face dramatic changes. While some animals benefit from these changing conditions, others are increasingly at risk. In Scandinavian Reloaded, we dive into the icy depths of the pack ice with unique footage of rare narwhals with double tusks, and explore why the drop in lemming numbers nearly caused the Arctic fox to vanish.
Despite the threat, conservation efforts and the adaptability of humans and animals is making a difference. Growing seal and cormorant colonies have increased the white-tailed eagle population, and the moose continues to find new food sources. The resilience of Inuit shows that humans can be part of the solution – but time is running out to protect nature’s fragile balance.
