Temperate conifer forests are diverse and found on five continents. They are home to iconic tree species like Douglas-fir and giant sequoias. Many of these forests have been logged or converted for other uses like agriculture. Pine forests are a big part of these areas, with many fire-dependent species. These forests provide resources like timber and paper, habitat for wildlife, and recreational opportunities. Climate change will impact these forests, causing them to shift towards the poles and creating challenges for conservation.
