"Many cloud forest organisms have literally nowhere to go…
They're stuck on an island of cloud forest.

Dr. Nalini M. Nadkarni, American ecologist who pioneered
the study of Costa Rican rain forest canopies

"Climate change models make it clear that temperatures are projected
to rise along the North Coast as much as 5.8 degrees (F).
A particularly nightmarish scenario would pair rising temperatures
with falling fog levels, creating an unprecedented double
whammy of drought stress for the coastal redwood trees…
if anything happens to the them, it’s going to be
a dramatic change in the entire ecosystem."
