The recovery and protection of certain animal species could help put the brakes on global warming. A team of researchers studied nine species in particular and found that they facilitate the capture and storage of carbon.
Published in the journal Nature Climate Change, the study was conducted by 15 scientists across eight different countries. Nine wildlife species were examined: marine fish, whales, sharks, grey wolves, wildebeest, sea otters, musk oxen, African forest elephants and American bison.
