Cloud forests, distributed throughout mountainous regions of Central and South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, are complex ecosystems characterized by low fog cover at the canopy level, which enhances moisture levels, and cooler temperatures than lowland tropical rainforests (Doumenge, 1995). These tropical montane forests are host to an incredible number of species, many of which are endemic to their area (Doumenge, 1995). Epiphytes, plants that root in other plants for structural support…

From above, only a field of rich green treetops can be seen. However, the simple blanket is covering a most extraordinary and complex ecosystem underneath, filled with thousands of species of flora and fauna.

But now the land is barren and left to its misery. The point at the issue is that deforestation is the biggest threat to the survival of human beings. Mary, Philip, and Sameer are three participants who are basically from New Zealand, Ireland, and India. The first question investigates what does deforestation really…
