It’s time to change that.
You Can Help Us Share the Howl!
By sharing the stories of these Climate Heroes, you can amplify the message of nature’s vital role in addressing the climate crisis, (re)turning these remarkable animals into allies in protecting our planet.
We’ve created a series of downloadable designs highlighting these key animals and their role in tackling the climate crisis. From Whales to Wolves, Bison to Beaver, Dingos to Dung Beetles, all have transformative roles in enriching ecosystems and helping to store carbon; these visuals showcase the inspiring connections between wildlife and climate recovery.
Get Involved
It is easy to underestimate the influence we all have. Sharing these stories is a simple but impactful way to raise awareness about the interconnectedness of biodiversity and climate action.
- Download and Share: Choose your favourite Climate Hero design and share it on your social media or in your community.
- Tag Us: Be sure to tag @GlobalRewildingAlliance
- Use the hashtag: #AnimatingCarbon so we can amplify your post.
Every share helps inspire action and brings us closer to a world where wildlife and nature are celebrated as solutions to the climate crisis.
Let’s share the howl together!

1. Quick Share Post -
🌍🌟🌏 Excited to share the launch of the Animating Carbon Cycle website! Dive in now at www.animatingcarbon.earth! #AnimatingCarbon @GlobalRewildingAlliance @YaleSchooloftheEnvironment
2. Detailed Post: What is Animating the Carbon Cycle (ACC) -
Animating the Carbon Cycle is a groundbreaking field of science that bridges biodiversity and climate – showing how healthy wild animal populations supercharge the ability of ecosystems to capture and store massive amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. It is a promising nature-based solution that mitigates climate change, reverses biodiversity loss, and restores balance for nature, people and Gaia.
Our new website, www.animatingcarbon.earth, is an increasingly comprehensive library of resources for anyone working at the intersection of climate action, biodiversity action, and policy.
Whether you’re a rewilder, scientist, policymaker, educator, or simply passionate about creating a wild world, this platform provides:
🌟 Visual animations and explanations of Animating the Carbon Cycle in action.
🌟 Regularly updated results from rewilding action happening on the ground all over the world.
🌟 Resources to integrate the science into impactful work across disciplines, including policy guidelines.
🌟 Peer-reviewed science from some of the world’s top scientists, universities and journals.
We invite you to explore this resource and join us in re-animating the carbon cycle – through science, policy, and action.

4. Detailed Post: Policy Focus -
Animating the carbon cycle: the nature-based solution addressing both our climate and ecological emergencies.
Supercharging ecosystem carbon sinks and additional drawdown helps us to meet the 1.5°C climate target.
The new website www.animatingcarbon.earth comes at a pivotal moment as governments, businesses, and communities seek cost effective, sustainable and equitable climate solutions.
This research shows we can address both challenges: we can bring back nature through rewilding and this will draw down vast amounts of carbon, helping to stabilise the global climate. The platform underscores that this research opens up a whole new raft of options for climate policymakers around the world.
The benefits of ACC in policy:
- Rapid and scalable solution with long-term impact
- Cost efficient & economic benefits for local communities
- Multi-crisis approach
Wild animals are the bridge between biodiversity and climate policy, helping countries to achieve their NDCs and NBSAPs at the same time.

5. Detailed Post: Website resources -
NEW: Library of resources on a nature-based solution that bridges climate and biodiversity.
Animating the Carbon Cycle (ACC) is an emerging field of science and policy, producing rigorous, peer-reviewed evidence to show how nature recovery is a credible, rapid and cost-efficient solution to address both the climate and biodiversity crises!
The ACC website www.animatingcarbon.earth is an increasingly comprehensive and regularly updated platform dedicated to providing the tools, resources, and practical guides for key stakeholders.
This includes: peer-reviewed papers from some of the world’s top science journals; case studies that show how groups are putting the science into practice; and guidelines for policy makers to fulfil both climate and biodiversity targets at the same time.
Nature recovery through rewilding has the transformative power to absorb billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide. ACC offers a visionary roadmap to restore healthy ecosystems while addressing the urgent need to restore balance to the carbon cycle.

6. Detailed Post: Climate Hero Species Focus -
Animating the Carbon Cycle (ACC) is a credible climate solution demonstrating how biodiversity, especially animal species, plays a critical yet often overlooked role in carbon capture and storage.
ACC peer-reviewed research identifies that protecting and restoring just nine key species can collectively capture over 6 billion tonnes of CO2 annually. This rivals all of the IPCC’s top five mitigation measures! …
From 🦦 sea otters controlling sea urchin populations and protecting kelp forests that absorb and store atmospheric carbon to 🐘 forest elephants our ‘giant gardeners’ enhancing ecosystems through seed dispersal and capturing an incredible 9,000 tonnes of carbon over their lifetimes. Meet your climate heroes!
Wildebeest, Musk Oxen, Grey Wolf, Baleen Whales… and more! And this is just the beginning as more research is being done, proving that wild animals are nature’s original and most effective carbon-capture technology!
Explore the newly launched Animating the Carbon Cycle website www.animatingcarbon.earth to dive into a well of resources. Join us in supporting the protection and restoration of the biodiversity that keeps our planet thriving.
