Pesticides, in general harm most of the food chain, Snowy owls included. As the poisons are eaten by the intended 'victim' and that in turn is eaten by its hunter, so the ladder goes on until the very top predators are affected.

What is being done to help snowy owls from being endangered?
As with most owls, the mother stays and keeps the young warm, whilst keeping predators at bay. The father owl hunts continuously to keep his family fed, often lining the nest edge with prey that is at that time surplus to requirements. Once the young snowy owls are too demanding for the male snowy owl, and large enough to leave, the female snowy owl joins in the hunt and supply of fresh prey. Eventually, the young snowy owls are encouraged to chase their own prey, initially caught but not killed by the parent snowy owls.
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.
