80,000 Reindeer Starve to Death as Arctic Sea Ice Melts
In the space of one decade, abnormal weather patterns in Arctic Russia have resulted in the death of 80,000 reindeer due to starvation. What’s even more shocking is the speed with which it happened: 20,000 deer died in 2006 and 61,000 animals starved to death in 2013. In total, that’s 22 percent of the whole reindeer population in the Yamal peninsula.
