Pika Mountain Goat Jones Columbine Of major concern is the potential loss of alpine and subalpine environments that provide prime habitat for plants such as Jones Columbine and White Mountain Avens, animals like bighorn sheep and mountain goats, and winter hibernation space for bears. Climate Change and our Economy Recent low summer flows along certain streams and rivers has forced the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife & Parks to close some of the state’s most storied streams to fishing. Ski resorts will likely experience shorter seasons According to the Montana Bureau of Business and Economic Research (MBBER), temperature changes have already had an impact on Montana’s tourism industry.
