Improvements/Solutions



Many actions can be taken to stop these negative impacts on the Alaskan tundra and prevent the status from getting worse. The most important action that should take place is for us, as humans, to switch to alternative energy and limit our exhaust of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Any little change in our lifestyles to decrease global warming would lead to the decrease in the amount of permafrost that would melt. To restrict human influence from spreading to well-established habitats, protected areas and park reserves should be set up. Along with establishing such areas, continual management of these areas should be enforced. Since mining, road construction, and pipeline installments have threatened the ecosystem, there should also be a limit on these developments in the area. If some or all these solutions take effect, then the Alaskan tundra surely will stay fairly intact and stable, as it is now.
