Northern Forests

The Northern Forests, also called the Boreal or Taiga, are vast, cold, and dense woodland areas found across northern parts of North America, Europe, and Asia. They feature mainly coniferous trees like pines, spruces, and firs, adapted to long, harsh winters. This ecosystem supports a variety of wildlife such as bears, moose, wolves, and many bird species. The forests play a crucial role in regulating the Earth’s climate by storing carbon, providing oxygen, and influencing weather patterns. They are vital for biodiversity, economic activities like forestry, and indigenous cultures that have relied on them for generations.
