Eco-tourism

If I were in charge of people touring taiga, these are five things I would want people to learn and remember about it:
1. In the summer, the sun doesn't set for weeks.
2. Taiga is the largest land biome, covering 11% of the Earth.
3. Peat bogs are widespread in taiga.
4. Taiga is Russian for forest.
5. Some of the oldest trees in the world are in taiga, such as a 4,600 year old bristlecone pine.
