Cloud Forest Ecosystem

A cloud forest ecosystem is a lush, moist environment found at high elevations where persistent cloud cover and fog drape over the trees. The constant moisture fosters diverse plant life, including mosses, orchids, and epiphytes, which grow on trees. This unique habitat supports a variety of animals like birds, insects, and amphibians, many of which are specially adapted to thrive in humid conditions. Cloud forests play a crucial role in regulating local climate, preserving water sources, and maintaining biodiversity. Their fragile ecosystems are sensitive to climate change, making their conservation vital.
