Reindeer starving in Sweden's Arctic - Free Audiobook

Climate change is altering weather patterns in the Swedish arctic and it's affecting the herd’s food supply. Climate change is leaving reindeer hungry in the Swedish arctic.An indigenous community which herds about 8-thousand reindeer year-round says altered weather patterns are affecting the reindeer's food supply......and if they don't find better areas for the animals to find food they'll starve to death.Unusually early snowfall in autumn was followed by rain that froze, trapping food under a thick layer of ice.Unable to eat, the hungry animals have scattered from their traditional migration routes in search of new grazing grounds.Swedish herders have tried to force the European Union to set more ambitious targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions and they're also working with Stockholm University to try and advance research that'll broaden understanding about changing weather patterns.
