 * Evergreen Coniferous Forest and its Value **

The coniferous evergreen forest has been historically used for it's profitable for humans and valuable resources in it such as the furs and coats of foxes and bears. The Native Americans of the North America have used these resources to trade and as a source of warmth. Humans hunt these animals and take their pelts as materials to make leather and fur materials. The use of these pelts has been traced back to ancient times. This use of these skins and furs aid to the humans who live in this area by allowing them to create clothing and materials needed for survival.

The second, but also extremely important use of this biome is for logging. Logging companies use the trees in this area for their main source of lumber. Lumber has been a common economic source for many different people around the world since the agricultural revolution. Many have used the effective method of clear-cutting. This is cutting down all of the trees in an area and leaving surrounding areas untouched. This wood lumber is used mainly in the construction of houses and other buildings. It is also used to make paper, cardboard, and other important supplies. For Canada, the export of wood and paper products is one of the most economically important industries. H1.
