Best Answer

Nobody is destroying the tundra. The tundra is the area on the northern part of the earth's surface between the place where trees end and the Arctic ocean. In many places permafrost exists below the ground which means that if you dig down you will reach frozen earth. Due to cold conditions, the process of degeneration or turning dead plants back into soil operates much slower in the tundra than it does farther south. As a result an orange or apple peal that might turn to dirt in a few weeks in the lower 48 states of the United States could take years in the tundra. As a result, garbage is a lot harder to get rid of. It is a lot easier to get the tundra looking like a garbage dump. The tundra will not be destroyed, it could take centuries to cleanse itself from man's stupidity.

Plants grow back slowly. Less vegetation will equal less food for the animals living there.
