The Boreal Forest -or Taiga- is an important carbon sink, which means they absorbs more carbon from the atmosphere than it releases, making them important for our climate.

Boreal forests are woodlands full of life adapted to withstand frigid temperatures year-round, swell as animals that migrate long distances every winter. The forests grow in a subarctic climate with very large temperature range between seasons, resulting in a number of species specifically adapted for survival in harsh taiga winters.

Boreal forests cover vast expanses in Canada, Alaska, Fennoscandia (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Sapmi and Karelia), Northern Japan, and Russia.
