Interdependence is essential for survival in cold environments. Examples of interdependence in cold environments include:

• complex food webs are good examples of interdependence in cold environments.
• indigenous people rely on whales and seals for clothing, food and heating. Fish are a staple part of the diet of indigenous people.
