Taiga in Crisis!

Disease is being spread like a plague through insects. With climate change causing the taiga's weather to be warmer, the insects have been reproducing more frequently. The life cycle of these insects will more than likely affect the nesting of birds. With a growing number of insects, it will be easier for insects to spread disease.

However, disease is not the only thing that climate change is affecting. The taiga will have lower water levels and less permafrost. With less permafrost the norther taiga ecosystems will be directly affected and endangered. Fires will be more frequent with higher temperatures, and the caribous' habitat will be reduced significantly therefore reducing their population.
