Species Going Uphill

With ecologists working their way up forested slopes of a volcano, a rare study on the impact of global warming in the tropics, global warming is driving tropical plant and animal species to higher altitudes, potentially leaving lowland rainforest with nothing to take their place. Many species would be unable to relocate at all for most tropical mountainside forests have become severely fragmented by human activities. Closed circuit television systems showed a similar uphill trek by squirrels, mice and other small mammals. Flora and fauna unable to move uphill could perish, unless it turns out they can bear higher temperatures.
