Siberia occupies a large area in the North-Eastern part of Eurasia, with a total area of 11 million square meters. Adjacent the region of the Ural mountains, Mongolia, the Arctic ocean, Kazakhstan, mountain ranges of the Pacific ocean and China. Siberia occupies a large part of the territory of Russia and is situated in the temperate and cold climate zone. The climate of the district is characterized by its severity, the conditions of stay of people and animals are not affectionate. In the warmest month of the year – June, temperature ranges from – 16 to – 35 degrees Celsius. In winter the ambient temperature abruptly drops to – 45 - 68 degrees Celsius. In such conditions the fauna of Siberia used to fight for survival, and some species are already listed in the Red book as endangered.
Siberia is full of hiding places, which for several decades has not gone before. In areas of wild nature are preserved in almost original form. Given its enormous scale, the nature of Siberia is stunningly multifaceted. The type of vegetation of the Siberian space changes, depending on movement from North to South. Celebrate these natural areas:
• Tundra;
• The Arctic desert;
• Taiga forest, landscape (http://rozarii.ru/) which is striking in its diversity;
• Forest tundra;
• Forest and steppe.
Forests of Siberia in some areas extend to several kilometres, as for this part of the world are typical taiga landscapes and vast forests form a fir, spruce, Siberian pine. In the tundra and its surrounding areas are the main vegetation of stunted shrubs, thick layers of moss, lichens, and perennial herbs. The steppe zone has long been populated by people and plowed, everywhere you can see the fresh hay, and in densely populated areas it is impossible to see typical Siberian animals and birds. Industry in Siberia developed, it built oil wells, active extraction of gas, coal and timber. Siberia currently provides over 60 % of oil and gas from Russian production, 35 % coal and 30 % of harvested timber. Economic activity on the territory of Siberia pollute the atmosphere. You can find all over the oil spills, pipelines for the transport, due to outdated equipment appear Gary, and incoming waste to the river Ob and its tributaries are spread over several hundred kilometers and reach the Arctic ocean. This can later lead to the complete destruction of the ecological system.
