The facts : The CO 2 fertilization effect is by no means going to âsaveâ us from the devastating consequences of global warming. 1  While enhanced CO 2 allows plants to maximize their water efficiency (requiring less water to achieve photosynthesis) the levels of other nutrients still limit growth.
Other island animals that are found nowhere else in the world, include the lemurs found on the island of Madagascar, the kiwi found on New Zealand, the tree kangaroo found in Papua New Guinea and the orang-utan which is found on the Indonesian islands of Borneo and Sumatra.
Island habitats can be found all over the world and can either be the result of land breaking away from large land masses, or islands can be the result of volcanoes erupting on the sea floor. Due to their generally isolated nature, the wildlife on islands often results in animals being unique in both their appearance and behaviour. Due to the fact that islands are found all over the world, numerous different habitats can be found upon them including rainforests, deserts, swamps and tundra.
