Taiga+Conservation

= Taiga Conservation  =

People can conserve the taiga by making national parks out of the biome so that no one can cut down the trees or make factories on the land. We can also create national forest and protected lands within the Taiga. Several years ago in Canada the people did just that. Through their efforts they were able to get the Canadian government to create the Taiga National Park which protects the biome and the wildlife within the park from human predictors. By creating hunting and trapping laws we can also protect all wildlife throughout the taiga biome. Once in Alaska, taiga conservation activists, protested that no one should be able to make roads in the taiga, but sadly their attempts failed. These are just a few ways that we can help the taiga remain the largest biome in the world.

One major issue in the taiga is acid rain. Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. Once it seeps into the underground water, that water evaporates and then comes down as rain, causing it to wear away and erode trees and stone, and if acid rain happens very, very much it can even wear away buildings. ( especially stone ones.) Acid rain can possibly be stopped by less mining. If we can figure out an alternative energy that can be used to support almost anything such as cars, lawn mowers, or even trains we would most likely be able to stop acid rain.



A negative impact on taiga is wood harvesting. Wood harvesting is a negative impact because its harms the plants and animals. The negative impact on animals is homes. For birds and some other animals cutting down trees is horrid. It is bad because it's their home, they use trees to live in or on (for birds). They include a length of negative results, from loss of habitat to an elevation in stream temperatures. That can cause fish to die off, but all of them reveal major changes that can take decades to correct. Wood harvesting is also bad because, if you cut down trees your taking the risk that you will kill an endangered species. Many of these animals have a difficult time finding new habitats. Because the surrounding areas may be obvious or filled with human homes. The results of wood harvesting. Wood harvesting also has an impact on the atmosphere, beginning when the trees are cut down. Trees help to filter pollutants from the air, and are also an important part of the carbon cycle. Removing trees has a direct impact on the environment, especially when combined with cut down and burn practices which result in burned earth and in a serious increase of environmental pollutants.

Another problem in the taiga is hydroelectric dams. Hydroelectric dams are bad for many reasons. One reason is when the river is dammed to produce power, they back up a giant lake behind them. Another reason is dams can flood thousands of acres of land, killing wildlife and permanently displacing people from their homes. An example of wildlife is salmon and other fish. Dams can block fish and other animals from migration. So they have many bad reasons.
