Why is the snow cap on mount kilimanjro melting?

The snow cap on Mount Kilimanjaro is melting primarily due to climate change, which causes rising temperatures and altered precipitation patterns. Increased global temperatures lead to accelerated glacial melting, while changes in local weather can reduce snowfall. Additionally, deforestation and land-use changes in the surrounding areas contribute to reduced moisture levels, further exacerbating the ice loss. These factors combined threaten the iconic glaciers and snowfields of this iconic peak.
