Arctic Reindeer Populations Are Declining Faster than Ever Before

Without major emission cuts, North American caribou face an 84% population drop and 71% range loss by 2100, threatening ecosystems and Indigenous livelihoods, researchers warn.

  • Wild Arctic reindeer populations have declined by about two-thirds from 5.5 million to around 1.9 million due to warming, according to previous research.
  • A study warns that without swift emission cuts, the global wild reindeer population could decline by nearly 60% by the century's end, with North America facing declines exceeding 80%.
  • Reindeer are a vital food source and cultural cornerstone for Arctic Indigenous communities, such as Alaskan Natives and the Inuit, whose well-being depends on their survival.
  • Jennifer Watts states that these findings serve as a warning to humans to reduce climate-warming emissions.
