Description: Scientists think the pika, a tiny alpine mammal, may provide clues to what climate change will mean in the Rocky Mountains. Pikas, which are related to rabbits, are particularly sensitive to changes in temperature and snowpack. Researchers with the Front Range Pika Project began collecting data on pikas in the White River National Forest last year. They’re relying on citizen science volunteers to help conduct surveys in several locations across the forest, including Independence Pass.
