The ecosystem in Sweden's mountain tundra is changing. Lemmings and other rodents that are the main food source for Scandinavian arctic foxes have a lower survival rate when there is an absence of snow to insulate their dens during the winter. Mild and varied winter weather includes rain that freezes, leaving a layer of ice over the terrain so rodents can?t get to their food. This can be a catastrophe for lemmings, and the predators who in turn prey upon them. Another consequence of climate change is that red foxes are now found further north than ever before, where they are taking over the arctic fox's territory.

Hi there, I'm Heidi. I work at the Minnesota Zoo Foundation, and our mission is to save wildlife. Last summer, I traveled to Sweden to help with arctic fox field research, conducted by Stockholm University's Swedish Arctic Fox Project.
30 years' worth of conservation work has helped bring the arctic fox population from just 50 individuals in Sweden, Norway, and Finland combined up to about 200 arctic fox in Sweden alone. But this is still a delicate population, and a single bad winter season can have a drastic negative impact on this species.
Northerners are more than familiar with freezing cold winters. And we love to talk about the weather. But while it can be easy for us to curse the cold, the world's arctic animals are struggling to survive due to the planet's warming temperatures.
Profits from the sales of these shirts (~$10/shirt) will be given directly to the Friends of the Swedish Arctic Fox Project, to help ensure they have the tools and resources needed to continue their critically important conservation work.
