This will causes the loss widespread areas of habitat and wildlife as happened in the Alpine heating in 2003 and on the breeding seasons is negatively impacted. One of the results of these events such as increased temperatures means that habitats are presents on mountains are going to start moving upwards, it will cause the loss of suitable habitat. It has been predicted the percentage of snow cover has been lost is 30% in 50 years. For some species such as Mountain pygmy possum, their suitable habitat is in the snowfields is going and slowly lost because of raising temperature. Furthermore, raising temperature will also impact on reptilian species that have the sex of the young changed in response to the raising temperature. Not only that, the strength and duration of wildfires is increasing and are expected too. This is not only leads to loss of animal species at the time, the change of the seed bank will also lead to alterations in the type of forest that grows after
