Forests in the Clouds

Rainforests high up on the tops of mountains are called cloud forests, because clouds often cover them and even reach down to the forest floor. Many kinds of plants and animals live in cloud forests that cant live anywhere else. Climate change is threatening cloud forests, but scientists are working to study and protect them.
