honestly, most people who live there probably live there because they have lived there for their entire lives and dont know anything different.  some people who live there have jobs based on the taiga environment, and some have adapted special skill for living in such an area.  and in all honesty, in today's modern world, the lifestyle of many in the Taiga region has become one of poverty, and it is hard to leave an area, however unpleasant, without money or huge sacrafice.  i am sure there are lots of reasons, but like many conditions, people who live in an impleasant area tend not to leave because they do not have the resources or do not know better.

taiga is the northern forests, tundra is the permafrost zone in the north

I think this question is too vague... Hunt what, where, with what, is the animal being hunted over populated, endangered.  Some people feel hunting is a horrible thing and the fact is that it can be a good thing for the survival of the species and the environment.

Sea turtles of all species are endangered (for an excellent reference see James R. Spotila's book "Sea Turtles: A Complete Guide to Their Biology, Behavior, and Conservation"). The Leatherback, Kemp's ridley, and Hawksbill turtles are listed as Critically Endangered. The Olive ridley, Loggerhead, and Green turtles are considered Endangered. The Flat back is considered Data Deficient due to lack of research. They used to be hunted on a large scale in the whaling days for their meat, fat and shells. Coastal peoples have always gathered turtle eggs for consumption. Their biggest threat now comes from long-line fishing, and as bycatch in shrimp nets, as well as over development on nesting beaches. Each year it is said that 40,000 turtles die from longlines alone. According to researchers at the 24th Annual Symposium on Sea Turtle Conservation and Biology, in Costa Rica the Pacific Leatherback has ten years before extinction if nothing is done to reverse these problems. Small and inexpensive changes to fishing techniques, such as slightly larger hooks and traps from which sea turtles can escape, can dramatically cut the mortality rate. Another danger comes from marine debris, especially from abandonded fishing nets in which they can become entangled.\n\n \nSea turtle trapped in a fishing netBeach development is another large area which has threatened sea turtles. Since sea turtles return to the same locations to nest, these areas may be protected by special police. In some areas, such as the east coast of Florida, after the adult turtles lay their eggs, they are dug up and relocated to special fenced nurseries where they can be protected from beach traffic. This is not the best thing to do, as many turtle species return to the beach on which they were born. Special lighting ordinances may also be enforced to prevent lights from shining on the beach and confusing young hatchlings from thinking it is the moon or sun and crawling toward it, usually crossing a road.\n\nOne of the biggest threats to sea turtles is the black market trade in eggs and meat. This is a pervasive problem throughout the world, but especially a concern in India, Indonesia and throughout the coastal nations of Latin America. Estimates are as high as 35,000 turtles killed a year in Mexico and the same number in Nicaragua. Conservationists in Mexico and the United States have launched "Don't Eat Sea Turtle" campaigns in order to reduce the urban black market trade in sea turtle products. These campaigns have involved figures such as Pope John Paul II, Dorismar, Los Tigres del Norte and Mana.\n\nInjured sea turtles are sometimes able to be rescued and rehabilitated by professional organizations such as the Marine Mammal Center in Northern California.

contact you local SPCA they will have information as to what exotic animals are allowed as pets.   My best guess would be no.   Calgary has some very strict legislation regarding pets.

I think you could visit a moose at the zoo or some place. I have only seen a moose in Canada.

1. Preserve their native habitats (that means preserving enough land for the space the large animals of the area need) For example large cats are estimated to need a roaming area of 100 square miles.  \n2. Stop the hunting of the endangered animal, by men and introduced predator species.\n3. Limit the number of competitors for the same resources of the endangered animal.\n4.  Find ways to improve genetic diversity in limited populations.

THE Eurasian steppes are a vast belt of grassland extending from\neastern Europe through western and central Asia to north-east\nAsia. The five threatened species which occur in the east Asian\nsteppes include four which also range westwards outside the Asian\nregion, Imperial Eagle, Lesser Kestrel and Great Bustard to Europe,\nand Pale-backed Pigeon to Central Asia. They occur in a variety of\nhabitats in addition to lowland grasslands: Imperial Eagle inhabits\nforest-steppe, and some forest conservation measures are relevant\nto the species (see F01); Pale-backed Pigeon is found in open,\nsparsely wooded habitats in the mountains; and White-throated\nBushchat breeds in mountain grasslands. The lakes and other\nwetlands in the steppes are important for threatened waterbirds, and\nare covered in W05.\n■ Key habitats Steppe grasslands, forest steppe and mountain\nsteppe, scrub in sandy desert.\n■ Altitude Lowlands to 3,100 m.\n■ Countries and territories Russia (Krasnoyarsk, Khakassia, Tuva,\nIrkutsk, Buryatia, Chita); Mongolia; China (Heilongjiang, Jilin,\nInner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Gansu); outside the Asian region, the\nsteppes extend through central and western Asia to eastern\nEurope.

The Caspian or Persian tiger (Panthera tigris virgata) was a subspecies that ranged throughout Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, the former Soviet Union and Turkey.  It became extinct in the late 1960s, last seen in 1968.\n\nThe last Caspian tiger in Iran (the former Persia) was shot in 1958.\n\nSo yes, there was once such a thing as a Persian tiger, but they are now extinct.\n\nTwo other subspecies of tigers (the Balinese and Javan tiger) have also gone extinct, the Balinese in 1937 and the Javan in 1979.\n\nThe remaining six subspecies are all listed as Critically Endangered, and the entire species could easily be extinct within fifty years.

This web site has arctic mammals, but it also has arctic birds. There are no arctic reptiles to my knowledge as they are cold blooded. It seems to be populated primarily be mammals and birds.\n\nFound one more.

Well, the American bison (Bison bison) is listed as being at Least Risk by the IUCN (the World Conservation Union).  While being virtually extirpated from the United States, there are large and thriving populations in Canada.  Enough so that my local grocery store regularily carries Bison steaks.  Mmmmm... yummy.\n\nThe European bison or wisent (Bison bonasus) is listed as Endangered.  The species was down to less than 20 captive individuals back in the 1920s.  There are programs currently underway to establish refuges for the wisent in Poland, Ukraine, Russia and Belorussia, and there are now as many as 250 animals in the wild.  However genetic diversity issues mean that they are in serious trouble.\n\nMost seals are listed as Least Risk or Vulnerable by the IUCN, however there are some that are Endangered or Critically Endangered.\n\nOne of the most Critically Endangered is the Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus), which is threatened by habitat loss and degradation, invasive parasites and pathogens such as toxic algae, ongoing harvesting and hunting, accidental mortality and their own restricted range.  \n\nThe French government twice initiated captive breeding projects, but both times shut down the projects over protests from the international monk seal scientific and conservation communities.  \n\nMany countries have introduced laws protecting the Mediterranean monk seal, but implementation has been less than rigorous.  There are so many countries around the Mediterranean that would all need to agree on conservation measures that it may be too late for this species.\n\nThe related Hawaiian monk seal (Monachus schauinslandi) is also Endangered, and the Caribbean monk seal (Monachus tropicalis) is already considered Extinct.\n\nThe Japanese sea lion (Zalophus japonicus) is also considered Extinct, last seen in 1951.\n\nThe walrus (Odobenus rosmarus) is one of the species listed in the IUCN Redlist as being at Least Risk.  There are healthy populations in many northern nations.  Unless something totally unthinkable happens, like global temperatures rising and melting all the Arctic sea ice, then they will probably remain relatively safe.  But that could never happen, right?\n\nIn the grand scheme of things, the extinction of these species probably doesn't mean an awful lot to humans directly.  Most people have probably never heard of a wisent, and probably never knew there was such as thing as a Caribbean monk seal.  However, they are indicators of a disturbing trend of extinctions, and near extinctions, mostly caused by humans.\n\nThose species directly hunted to extinction by man are easy enough to explain, and do not speak well of our ability to work and play nice with others, but it is the species which are indirectly affected by mankind, through habitat loss, pollution, introduced diseases and other factors that should sound a resounding wake-up call to humanity in general.  If we are making the planet uninhabitable for other species, maybe it isn't gonna be so nice for us if we keep it up, eh?\n\nThere is also the possibility that species that we think will have no effect on us if they go extinct are actually vital links in the ecosystem, and will have major impacts when they are gone.  The classic example is the sea otter (Enhydra lutra).  A cute, fuzzy little sea mammal that eats sea urchins and abalones.  It also has thick fur that was very valuable to fur traders.  However, once the little fuzzy sea otters were gone, the sea urchins boomed in population and started eating all the kelp.  Those kelp forests were important habitat for many fish species, and suddenly the fishing industry started hurting.  The sea otter turned out to be very important for the economic needs of a great many fishermen.\n\nIt's easy to become blase about 'oh well, it's just some dumb critter I've never heard of, so why should I care if it goes extinct?  most of the species that have ever existed have gone ext

Tigers, they are so beautiful and unique.  Graceful yet powerful.  It really takes my breath away when I see one even if it's just on the TV.  They are endangered too and it's my dream to someday work with one of their conservation programmes.

i agree we need to protect these endangered species.more should be done to protect them.instead of the goverment wasting money some should be used to help these animals,i always give money to help.if i had my way i would go to where these gorillas are and help.to your previous question i would save the gorilla hands down,im glad your passion on saving endangered species is important,im totally with you on this

Russia most certainly has numerous species of lizard.  The diversity may not be as great as in tropical regions, but it is a very large and diverse place.  Among those lizards is the Viviparous lizard, Zootoca vivipara, which ranges further north than any other reptile, into the Arctic Circle.

The wolf is an endangered species so you can't own one.
