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.
The first settlers did not find any other animals, such as amphibians, mosquitoes, reptiles or bugs. The Islands were home to only two endemic mammals, the Hawaiian monk seal and the hoary bat. It is believed that the hoary bat at some time was accidentally blown to Hawaii from North or South America.
