Taiga Forest

Taiga, also known as boreal forest, is a vast, cold region primarily found in northern parts of North America, Europe, and Asia. It is characterized by evergreen trees like spruces, pines, and firs, which thrive in the harsh climate with long winters and short summers. The taiga plays a crucial role in the Earth’s ecosystem by absorbing carbon dioxide, storing carbon, and supporting wildlife. It also serves as a significant resource for timber and is vital for indigenous peoples' livelihoods. This forest type is essential for biodiversity and helps regulate the global climate.
