The model used locations of known cloud forests were obtained from the Tropical Montane Cloud Forest Sites database Tropical Montane Cloud Forest Sites database. This data can be obtained from https://www.unep-wcmc.org/resources-and-data/tropical-montane-cloud-forest-sites, download requires registration. Once downloaded we move the data to this directory:
