Landscape of a part of lowland forest, where liana vines are seen in Tangkoko Nature Reserve, a protected habitat for crested macaque (Macaca nigra) in North Sulawesi province of Indonesia. A report by a team of scientists led by Marine Joly revealed that the temperature is increasing in Tangkoko forest. "Between 2012 and 2020, temperatures increased by up to 0.2 degree Celsius per year in the forest, and the overall fruit abundance decreased by 1 percent per year, ” they wrote on International Journal of Primatology._Many tropical forest areas in the world suffer from the same phenomenon: new temperature averages have applied, according to a June 03, 2024 publication on Phys.Org. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) added that it has led to ecological, behavioral, and physiological changes in wildlife species and biodiversity. "In addition to increased rates of disease and degraded habitats, climate change is also causing changes in species themselves, which threaten their survival, " they wrote in a publication on IUCN.org._Rising temperatures also reduce the capacity of the forests in carbon sequestration. "Tropical forests are the true powerhouses of global biodiversity, and the complex networks of species they contain underpin vast carbon stocks that help to mitigate climate change. A severe risk is that species are no longer able to survive within tropical forests as climate change intensifies, further exacerbating the global extinction crisis and degrading rainforest carbon stocks, " said Professor David Edwards at the University of Cambridge's Department of Plant Sciences, as quoted in the article on Phys.Org.
