It is now understood that crop production will increase due to more CO2 in the environment. However, it does not stop there, the biota in the environment will also be helped from the increasing amount of greenhouse gases and CO2 in the environment. The native flora and fauna of Kosciuszko National Park, will be affected by the mean average annual increase in temperature. With the increase in the occurrence and distribution of several dominant plant communities (tall alpine herbfield, heathland and sod-tussock grassland), more of these important plants will be around. The fauna will not increase at the same rate, however. While global warming helps flora, it will actually decrease the amount of fauna. However, the higher increase in temperature will help be positive for the health and amount of birds around the area. The Kosciuszko National Park will investigate and look into ways to fix the problems from global warming, and to facilitate the positive affects that have been found.

It's nice to know that some things will improve. Too bad for the other animals, though...
What in the environment is causing fauna to decrease? And also are workers at the National Park doing anything to protect the animals?
