62 >Boreal (northern) forests are often called the “second lungs” of the planet after tropical forests. UN Research: It is necessary to pay more attention to boreal forests The climate and the environment is boreal (northern) forests that make up 27 percent of all forests of the world, often & nbsp; they call the “second lungs” planets after tropical forests. They surround the North Pole, covering North America, Europe & nbsp; and Asia, and play a vital role in maintaining & nbsp; biodiversity on the planet. & nbsp; Despite their importance, boreal forests do not receive the same attention from politicians & nbsp; and the public, as & nbsp; tropical. A new study published by the European Economic Commission of the United Nations & nbsp; (EC & NBSP; UN) and presented at the forum & NBSP; UN & AMP; NBSP; by forests & NBSP; in New York, there is an urgent need to maintain this global global natural treasury. & nbsp; & nbsp; In & NBSP; in a complex study of boreal forests & NBSP; and the concomitant series & NBSP; national reviews & nbsp; (for Canada, Finland, Norway, the Russian Federation, the USA & nbsp; and Sweden) Conclusion & nbsp; that, despite the importance of the boreal biom, there are significant gaps & nbsp; in our & nbsp; knowledge & nbsp; about northern forests, their role & nbsp; in sustainable development & nbsp; future. 60 ~ h2 > key facts 60 ~ h2 ~ 60 > 62 ~ boreal forests occupy approximately & nbsp; 9.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3,3 percent of world square. They contain about & NBSP; 32 percent of the world’s carbon reserves on land. & nbsp; ~ 60 > boreal forests make a significant contribution & nbsp; to ensure sustainable means & nbsp; to exist for rural, remote & nbsp; and indigenous communities, and Also & nbsp; form 37 percent of the world of wood. Boreal forests & nbsp; support such & nbsp; types of activities as collecting berries or mushrooms, hunting & nbsp; and rest/tourism. & nbsp; growing threats Boreal forests are faced with & nbsp; with growing dangers associated with & nbsp; with climate change: they are threatened with forest fires, activities & nbsp; insect-pests & nbsp; and melting permafrost. & nbsp; ~ 60 > boreal forests are vital for the preservation of biodiversity & nbsp; and climate regulation. In addition to protecting freshwater resources, boreal forests play a significant role & nbsp; in the promotion of the economic development of the countries of the North, ensuring sustainable supply of wood to world markets. & nbsp; call & nbsp; K. action & nbsp; ~ 60 > UN study is the need to pay greater attention to boreal forests & nbsp; in global discussions for sustainable. development & nbsp; and preservation of biodiversity, as well as adaptation & nbsp; to a change in the climate & nbsp; and mitigating its consequences. & nbsp; & nbsp; generally accepted definition of boreal forests would help outline the territory that they occupy as a preliminary condition for consistent monitoring of a boreal bioma. This can be achieved by developing specialized criteria & NBSP; and indicators for monitoring the long -term consequences of forestry activities, natural & NBSP; and anthropogenic landscaping, as well as climate changes, including fires; NBSP; and insect invasion. & nbsp; ~ 60 > committee & nbsp; UN UN in the forests & nbsp; and forest industry offers the & nbsp; and tools for the exchange of information & nbsp; and cooperation & nbsp; in this area. & nbsp;
