What are the threats to the polar biome?

The polar biome faces several significant threats, primarily from climate change, which leads to rising temperatures and melting ice, disrupting ecosystems and wildlife habitats. Additionally, increased human activity, including oil drilling and shipping routes, poses risks of pollution and habitat destruction. Overfishing and resource extraction further threaten biodiversity in these fragile environments. Lastly, the introduction of invasive species can disrupt the delicate balance of polar ecosystems.
