		The main threats are widespread forest fires, intensive clear-cuts in the central and southern taiga subzones and poaching.
		The ecoregion boundary corresponds to the central and sparse forest taiga in the Central Siberian forest province and the East Siberian forest province west of the Dzhugzhur Mountains in Kurnaev’s (1990) forest map of the USSR.
		A section of Kurnaev’s West Siberian province is also included to conform to the more standard convention of using the Yenisei River as a biogeographic boundary.
