In February, the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA) and the Arctic University of Norway (UiT) arranged a theme day which focused on the threats facing the Arctic fox.
The Arctic fox is currently classified as critically endangered. The greatest challenges to the survival of the species include climate change, human impact and inbreeding. One of the most tangible effects of climate change is the fact that the red fox is becoming increasingly widespread in mountain areas, where it competes with the Arctic fox for both food and territory.
