Answer 1

Lumbering is an important occupation in the natural region of taiga.

Explanation:

The Taiga (boreal/coniferous forest) is dominated by vast stands of pine, spruce, fir, and similar trees, and commercial cutting of these forests is a major occupation there. The source text notes that cutting of trees (lumbering) in the Taiga is done mechanically and that Taiga trees are used for wood pulp, paper, plywood, and other forest products.
