Cloud-forests are among the most biodiverse habitats in the world. Although they account for less than half of 1 percent of the earth’s land surface, they are home to around 15 percent of known species. A cloud-forest can contain around four hundred species of tree in a single hectare; almost half as many as the number of native tree species found across the entirety of the contiguous United States.
