How are Snowy Owls being affected by global warming?
Global warming is a big problem for Snowy Owls. It hurts the Snowy Owls in two different and dangerous ways: loss of habitat, and hurting the food chain. The first way, the loss of habitat is caused by loss of snow- due to global warming. The other way, hurting the food chain, is also caused by global warming but does not hurt the Snowy Owls directly. There are fewer plants this way, and the Snowy Owl's prey (lemmings, hares, etc.) have less food. We already said that Snowy Owl population is very abrupt so their population is getting lesser and lesser. Those are the things that endanger the Snowy Owl.
