The Taiga Biome is known to have very cold winters and cool summers with about 50 centimeters of rain a year. It's also home to eastern red cedar trees and jack pines. The taiga is well known for all of it's pine, fir, and spruce trees that help shelter  the animals it supports such as the gray wolf and the bobcat. It also supports an unlucky friend in eastern Russia, the Siberian Tiger, though it is illegal to hunt and poach them in Russia; the Russians are so poor they'll do anything it takes to survive, including taking the risk to send the Siberian Tiger to extinction to sell them and their furs to Asia. Other than that the worst thing humans do to the taiga is continuously harvesting their trees for their strong sturdy woods and polluting the air causing acid rain.
