	Taiga - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Taiga (pronounced /'taɪgə/, from Russian тайга́) is a biome characterized by its coniferous forests.
		In Canada, the term boreal forest is used to refer to the southern part of this biome; the term taiga is used to described the more barren northern areas south of the Arctic tree-line.
		The taigas are one of the world's major sources of oxygen.

	Palearctic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This boreal and temperate European-Siberian region is the Palearctic's largest biogeographic region, which transitions from Tundra in the northern reaches of Russia and Scandinavia to the vast Taiga, the boreal coniferous forests which run across the continent.
		South of the taiga are a belt of Temperate broadleaf and mixed forests and Temperate coniferous forests.
		This vast European-Siberian region is characterized by many shared plant and animal species, and has many affinities with the temperate and boreal regions of the Nearctic ecoregion of North America.

		Gold is found on the high plateau in the basin of the upper Vitim, on the lower plateau in the Nerchinsk district, and on the upper tributaries of the Amur (especially the Oldoi) and the Zeya, in the north-east continuation of the Nerchinsk Mountains.
		The Sea of Okhotsk, separated from the Pacific by the Kurile Archipelago and from the Sea of Japan by the islands of Sakhalin and Yezo, is notorious as one of the worst seas of the world, owing to its dense fogs and its masses of floating ice.
		Okhotsk and Ayan on the Sea of Okhotsk, Petropavlovsk on the east shore of Kamchatka, Nikolayevsk, and Vladivostok on the Sea of Japan, and Dui on Sakhalin are the only ports of Siberia.

	UNEP-WCMC Protected Areas Programme - Kamchatka (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Central Kamchatka, enclosed between the two mountain ranges, has a climate similar to the continent, and is snow-covered from October to May. On the west coast, temperatures are lowered by the cold Sea of Okhotsk.
		The Kamchatka Peninsula became part of Russia in 1699 and the first description of Kamchatka was given in 1742 by the explorer S.P. Krashenninnikov.
		There are as a result two opposing concepts for the future development of Kamchatka: expanded extraction of minerals (largely on land traditionally held by the native people) to help finance the regional administration, and activities based on protecting the environment which should sustain native populations and create sustainable tourism.

	Distribution and Status of Brown Bears of the World
		The exact number of bears is not as important as the "effective size" of the population or the amount of good habitat that is available.
		Brown bears are distributed throughout Eurasia with a large 'mainland' population in tundra and taiga forests of Russia extending into neighboring areas of North Korea, Mongolia, and China (Servheen 1990).
		The populations in eastern Russia are estimated at 1800 in Kazakhstan, 8850 in West Siberia, 40,000 in East Siberia, 32,000 in the Russian Far East, 1400 on Sakhalin Island, and 700 in the Kurile Islands (Servheen 1994).

		The Ainu (from the word "aynu," meaning "person" in the Ainu language) are the aboriginal inhabitants of the Kurile (or Kuril) Islands, the southern half of Sakhalin Island, and Hokkaido, the northernmost of the four major islands of Japan.
		The first Russian explorers to visit Kamchatka in the 18th century also found a mixed Ainu-Itelmen population in the southern tip of that peninsula.
		Today the Ainu as an ethnic group have disappeared entirely from the Russian held areas (Kamchatka, Sakhalin, and the Kuriles); the entire Ainu population of the Kuriles and Sakhalin was evacuated with the Japanese en masse to northern Japan in 1946 at the close of the Second World War.
