Best Answer

The tundra is a biome that does not historically see much change. As humans encroach, they may over hunt local populations, destroy habitat by living on the tundra itself, and set up oil drilling that destroys the environment. The tundra is also being influenced by global warming as glaciers and permafrost melt.
