Wildlife spreads seeds, enabling tropical forests to capture more carbon – Mongabay
In a new article by Liz Kimbrough, Mongabay reports on new research revealing that areas with fewer seed-dispersing animals store up to four times less carbon than forests with healthy wildlife populations.
Tigers and Climate: First-of-its-kind research in Asia finds a dual win for nature and climate policy
New research published in Global Change Biology (Roberts et al., 2025) reveals that forests with healthy populations of wild Tigers store more carbon than ‘empty forests’ without Tigers — advancing the goals of both the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This provides additional compelling evidence that wildlife recovery is a critical, yet often overlooked, tool in climate mitigation.
