Die Nebelwälder Costa Ricas: Was diese nebelverhangenen Ökosysteme so einzigartig macht
Costa Rica cloud forests are among the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. Learn what makes these misty high-elevation forests unique and why
Climate change affects forests, wildlife and people. Standing rainforest matters to the global climate system, which is why this collection brings together causes, consequences, carbon storage and practical responses.
Climate change and forests are connected because greenhouse gas emissions, land use and ecosystem health can all affect the conditions people and wildlife depend on. Climate change is driven mainly by heat-trapping greenhouse gas emissions from activities such as burning fossil fuels, clearing forests and some forms of agriculture. These drivers are connected. When forests are lost, the climate pressure is not limited to one place. It can also affect habitats, rainfall patterns, food systems and the communities that depend on stable natural systems.
Responding to climate change means reducing emissions while also protecting the ecosystems that help communities and wildlife cope with change. Standing rainforests matter because they support complex living systems and regional water cycles. They are part of the wider natural systems that shape local and regional resilience. Climate action is strongest when it brings together emissions reduction, adaptation and the protection of healthy natural ecosystems.
