Interesting Facts
The other thing that people don't know about the taiga biome is that only 12% of taiga's are protected. The other 88% is used for logging, and it is growing increasingly hard for some species to survive. Taiga's are a major source of lumber, and it is not likely to stop soon. We either need to protect more taiga's, or stop logging so much.
