Wild animals: The original and best carbon-capture ‘technology’
Restoring and conserving key species such as Wildebeest not only improves ecological functioning but can also magnify carbon uptake by 1.5 to 12.5 times across the world’s terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems
Animating the Carbon Cycle is a holistic solution and it accounts for the role wild animals play in controlling carbon exchange between ecosystems and the atmosphere
The current existential crisis of climate breakdown and species loss affects many sectors simultaneously and catastrophically. It can only be solved by implementing solutions that address diverse issues and yield multiple benefits (Spanish version)
A high-level group of 60 scientists, economists and civil society organisations have launched an initiative that, by 2023, will demonstrate the direct impact of nature solutions on solving the climate emergency
The current existential crisis of climate breakdown and species loss affects many sectors simultaneously and catastrophically. It can only be solved by implementing solutions that address diverse issues and yield multiple benefits
Restoring wildlife is essential for solving the climate emergency. As a part of a ground-breaking public discussion on humanity’s relationship with wild nature, global experts launched the new Rewilding and Climate Initiative
Conservation efforts should target the few remaining areas of the world that represent outstanding examples of ecological integrity and aim to restore ecological integrity to much broader areas with intact habitat and minimal species loss
This study found that carbon in faeces, respiration and other excretions from fishes make up about 16% of the total carbon that sinks below the ocean’s upper layers
This report contains clear policy recommendations for governments to develop effective solutions to climate change and biodiversity loss that are mutually supportive but its recommendations are tailored to negotiations at COP-15 and COP-26

African forest elephants have the potential to fight climate change by contributing significantly to natural carbon capture
Protecting whales could add significantly to carbon capture and limit greenhouse gases and global warming because the current population of the largest great whales is only a small fraction of what it once was
Plans to triple the area of plantations will not meet 1.5 °C climate goals. New and restored natural forests can help remove atmospheric carbon and lock it up within ecosystems in a safe and affordable way
It is predicted that predator-induced trophic cascades could have important impacts on ecosystem carbon cycling. Yet the magnitude and direction of predator impacts on carbon cycling have not been widely quantified until now
An overlooked tool in fighting climate change is enhancing biodiversity to maximise the ability of ecosystems to store carbon
