This is a screenshot from the climate change video presentation in the +5 Degrees Cloud Forest Dome Theatre, the last place you visit before exiting via the Secret Garden.
Higher altitude flora and fauna communities including the mossy gnarled cloud forest of Lord Howe Island and the cloud forests and cool temperate rainforests of Australia, Asia, Africa and South America face difficult times ahead if scientists prediction of global temperature rises of up to 5 degrees or greater by 2100 eventuate.
Species that cannot adapt to higher average temperatures and potentially, reduced moisture, will become extinct. Other more heat/dry tolerant species will invade these places adding further pressure to their survival.
The +5 Degrees video presentation in Singapore's Cloud Forest Dome paints a gloomy picture if action is not taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with great urgency.
Impacts of climate change will be variable and in many cases catastrophic affecting some of the world's most vulnerable people. Some Pacific islanders threatened by sea level rise are already desperately looking for new homelands. 
It is predicted that there will be an increased frequency of more damaging storm events, bushfires, flooding, drought and heatwaves differentially impacting on human, flora, and fauna communities, depending on where in the world one lives. 
The cloud forests are under imminent threat in many parts of the world. Places like Singapore's 'Avatar like' Cloud Dome could be a last refuge for many species that inhabit these regions.
