Human+Effect+Taiga+Per.+8

How Humans Negatively Affect the Taiga and its Environment:

- The effects human have on this biome are substantial, for the Taiga is slowly being destroyed at the same rate of the Rainforest.

- Humans are doing many things and practices that are contributing to this destruction such as large-scale clear cutting, plantation, forestry, the introduction of exotic tree species, soil sacrification, ditching, and the extensive use of pesticides and herbicides.

- Humans may not realize it, but our actions affect greatly the environment around us. Each time we explore oil and gas mines, build roads, mine, or cause forest fires, we are making things worse for the organisms attempting to survive in this biome.

- Many animals in the Taiga are being hunted down and trapped as well, mainly for their precious fur. This helps us, but greatly depopulates these animals.

- This is not an insolvable problem, however, for if we just reduce the use of paper and wood prodcuts, spread the word on the harm were doing, act more careful about forest fires, and simply just make an eeffort we can stop the destruction of the Taiga today.
