LEFT: A female White-tailed Ptarmigan is banded for a FORT study to assess the possible consequences of environmental changes brought about by climate change on wildlife populations. It is thought that alpine ecosystems will be one of the first habitats affected by climate change, and the impact on ptarmigan and other alpine-dependent species could be significant.
