Let’s restore European Bison to their historical range, they restore our ecosystems and help mitigate climate change 🌱
Bison: A 10x Boost to #CarbonCapture 🦬 Last May, research from Yale School of the Environment and the Global Rewilding Alliance has uncovered something remarkable: a group of 170 rewilded European bison in Romania’s Tarcu Mountains is helping ecosystems capture an additional 54,000 tonnes of carbon annually—equivalent to taking 84,000 petrol cars off the road every year! 🚗💨 This groundbreaking study, using a model developed at Yale School of Environment, reveals how bison grazing, trampling, and seed dispersal across 48 km² of grasslands supercharges carbon capture by nearly 10x compared to landscapes without them. 🌿🦬 These findings mark the first of many applications of the model, which could be used worldwide to explore how wildlife can transform ecosystems and combat climate change. Rewilding isn’t just about species restoration, it is also a powerful tool for climate action. 💡 Dive into the study and discover how these climate heroes are reshaping landscapes: 🦬 Explore how protecting these species can combat climate change: https://lnkd.in/dWUzT4ax 📢 Spread the word using these downloadable resources: https://lnkd.in/dVF3p3tZ 🐋 Meet the other climate heroes: https://lnkd.in/dtXbp6cz #AnimatingCarbon #ClimateHeroes #Bison #Rewilding #AnimatingCarbon #NatureBasedSolutions
