Taiga - the biggest forest on the territory of Russia.Relict forests, preserve the memory of a time when humanity is in its infancy, and the fauna of the taiga draws its wealth.Man on the life of the taiga has a devastating effect.The situation does not help even the presence of protected areas.All these aspects are dealt with in the article.
Fauna Siberian taiga
animals found in the forest, which are peculiar only to these coniferous forests.So, here are elk, columns, weasels, stoats, chipmunks.Besides them Taiga animals - a hare, lynx, brown bears, flying squirrels, musk deer.For typical taiga forest grouse, hawk owls, nutcrackers, crossbills-Elovikov, Ural Owl, aegolius, three-toed woodpeckers and bullfinches.Of the reptiles can be seen lizard, viper and copperhead snake common
Due to the difficult environmental conditions of the taiga animals acquired characteristics that help them survive.So, in the winter grouse and hare seek shelter in the snow at nightfall.In addition, many animals living in the forest have thick fur.Hunters since time immemorial furs hunted in the forests, while ruthlessly destroying them.
From large hoofed animals in the forest elks.Eating pine needles and bark of trees, they perfectly feel in swampy areas where, thanks to a specially arranged hooves, they can move without fear of drowning.And the smallest of hoofed animals musk deer taiga is related to deer.Rogov does not have the male musk deer on their bellies have a bag containing musk - a substance used in perfumery.
As mentioned above, the animals of the taiga - are unique owners of valuable fur.These include sable, speakers.Sable loves to settle in the most impassable for man and blind parts of the forest.In contrast, the speakers distributed throughout the taiga.In the Altai in the south-east Siberia, inhabits the most numerous population of these animals.Columns - a predator, it feeds on the eggs of birds and small rodents.In Siberia, inhabits only species of wild cats - the lynx.She moves beautifully through the trees and hunts rodents, rarely larger animals.
Reserves Siberia
In order to preserve natural features, flora and fauna are protected areas, which are completely withdrawn from circulation and their supporting ecosystems intact.Siberia - the vast territory of the Russian Federation, which occupies more than half of its area, has several of its protected areas.For example, in western Siberia known reserves Malaya Sosva, Upper Taz, Gydansky, Yugansky.For the largest reserves in Russia is Altai Nature Reserve, which is located in the Altai Republic.Part of the conservation area is located on the low hills covered with conifers.Therefore, among the inhabitants of the reserve there are animals of the taiga;because in its territory are found wolverine, moose, sable, deer, brown bears.
Environmental problems taiga
The current state of the animal world taiga raises serious concerns.There are several factors that have a negative impact on the ecosystem of the boreal forest.Because of uncontrolled deforestation dramatically reduces the number of different species of animals.In the case of the Altai Territory from cutting trees in the buffer zone has reached court, environmentalists have won the process, but it is only a small part in the fight for the preservation of natural areas.Pets are destroyed, and the fault of poachers.In the Novosibirsk region was raised to ban spring hunting.Many ills cause fires that destroy almost every year millions of hectares of forest.In addition, people are increasingly interfering in the life of the inhabitants of the taiga, and paving the road in the woods, spend a line of communication.As a result, the taiga is polluted by industrial waste, many of which are toxic, and Russian taiga animals feel their destructive impact.Therefore, their populations drastically reduced.
Conclusion
Taiga - this unique forest, which became habitual habitat of many rare and valuable animals.For the conservation of biological diversity boreal forests requires serious action on the part of environmental organizations, forestry and the introduction of new legislation on the protection of natural areas.
