🇬🇧 Intro: Boreal Forest Biome
The Boreal forest biome, also known as the Taiga, is an expansive-forested region in the Northern Hemisphere. Distinguished by its coniferous pine and spruce trees, the Boreal forest experiences a prolonged period of cold temperatures lasting several months. This forest provides habitat for various wildlife species such as bears, moose, moss, and reindeer. During summer, the region experiences extended periods of daylight, with some areas experiencing almost 24 hours of sunlight for weeks. This is due to the sun remaining above the horizon for nearly 20 hours daily.
