Coastal Ecosystems
The different components of coastal ecosystems provide services to local communities by shielding them from strong coastal winds and waves and supplying fish for industry, sport and even dinner.

Forest Ecosystems
Forest ecosystems are home to trees that capture and store carbon as well as game animals and edible plants provide sources of food and recreation.

Mangrove Ecosystems
Mangroves absorb and store CO2, provide habitats for animals and fish, and their vast root systems prevent erosion and shield coasts from strong winds and waves.

River Ecosystems
River ecosystems contain riparian vegetation that trap sediment and filters debris for higher water quality in addition to have riparian zones that reduce floods by slowing water flow.

Urban Ecosystems
Urban ecosystems often feature green spaces with trees that provide shade and reduce residual heat from asphalt, as well as gardens to offer food for communities and space for pollinators.

5 Ways Climate Affects Caribou
The words "5 Ways Climate Change Affects Caribou" are written in yellow with an icon of a brown caribou with large antlers in the bottom right corner.
Text reads:
"More wildfires lead to less lichen, as lichen can take decades to recover, and is an important food source for caribou in the winter."

5 Ways Climate Affects Bears
The words "5 Ways Climate Change Affects Bears" with an image of a bear.
Text reads:
"Drought can reduce the availability of important foods like berries & seeds”
"When less food is available, bears will sometimes turn to garbage bins, bird feeders, & other sources of food found near humans, leading to human-bear conflicts"
