Through their impact on water and soil quality, climate patterns, and numerous known and unknown plant and animal species, cloud forests profoundly affect life surrounding them and life around the planet. Current financing and management provided by the Tropical Science Center and Forum One Communications. Past support from the World Bank and the Central American Commission for Environment and Development (CCAD). Contact Wagner Lopez info@cloudforestalive.org with comments or questions.
