Human activities influence the environment and reduce the value of forests, tundra and plains in terms of original biodiversity

habitat . Primarily larger mammals are hit by the fragmentation caused by roads and pipelines. The GLOBIO methdology has modeled the current impact of human activities in the Arctic, as seen in this map. Infrastructure and settlements are used as proxies for human activities.
