Mountains become islands: Ecological dangers of increasing land use in East Africa

Mountains become islands: Ecological dangers of increasing land use in East Africa The mountains of East Africa are a treasure trove of biodiversity. However, their ecosystems may be at a higher risk than previously realized. Scientists have discovered that Mount Kilimanjaro is turning into an "ecological island". Agriculture and housing construction have eliminated the natural vegetation that used to serve as a bridge to the surrounding area, enabling the diversity of species to develop to its current levels. Neighboring mountain regions are presumably also being isolated from their surrounding areas. http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
