In the face of global climate change moose may also become a bellwether species for the persistence of northern species in VNP and the surrounding area. Climate change will affect national parks like VNP in many ways, ranging from changes in vegetation and possible loss of wildlife species to altered visitation rates by people (NPCA 2007). The National Park Service, and Voyageurs National Park in particular, is uniquely positioned to both study the effects of climate change on northern species and provide refugia for populations of northern species such as moose, given the general lack of fragmentation and human disturbance in National Parks (NPCA 2007).enReport
