Taiga+Conservation

Matt C. Evan B.

Humans have positive and negative affects. On this page, we will discuss both

Negative affects on the taiga are Global warming, clear cutting and the horrendous aftermath of the Tunguska event which knocked out 830 square miles of taiga in Russia in 1927. Oil and natural gas reserves in Canada and Russia are greatly polluting the air and soil and destroying habitats of many animals.

Some positive things happening in the taiga are planting trees in place of the ones that fell after that horrendous meteor hit, trying to stop clear cutting in the Canadian, Russian and Scandinavian taiga.
