Enviornmetal Concerns

There are major problems in the taiga, goes from mercury poising to road building, to hunting. The taigas are being attacked brutally by...well us. To put it simply we are a danger to the taiga in many ways. We hunt the animals that live there for there fur with decreases the animals numbers harshly. For animals like the Canada lynx, they can't afford that considering they are already hunted too much by the gray wolf. We take down the forest for “pulp factories” (factories that make paper and pulp), leaving animals with out a habitat and the soil without someone to keep the soil nourished (the willow trees help nourish the soil). Humans make wild fires, not on purpose but they do. And hydraulic power has gotten into the water and fish are getting mercury poising along with the animals that eat them. we aren’t only hurting the animals and habitat but we are also hurting the native people that live there. They have history and culture in the taiga and we are taking it away from them as well.The over all concern is that there will not be a place for the animals to live, and no animals that would miss the habitat being killed by either the mercury or the hunters that surround them.
