Animals are our vital allies

I have some exciting new ideas about carbon mitigation to share with you.

But first, we are coming up on our first critical end-of-month fundraising deadline of the year. So, I would be remiss if I didn't ask you to consider a $3 donation in support of our work.

The carbon cycle is the process by which carbon moves through the Earth's systems, including the atmosphere, oceans, and living organisms. It's a delicate balance essential for maintaining a healthy planet. Human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation have disrupted the cycle, leading to an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and contributing to the climate crisis, the effects of which we feel every day.

But there is still hope.

Scientists are beginning to explore a nature-based solution called animating the carbon cycle. It brings a larger focus to the role wild animals play in the carbon cycle and how restoring biodiversity could be the key to controlling carbon.

One great example of this is wolves in the forests of North America. When their population is healthy, wolves control the plant-eating moose population, boosting carbon storage in soil and vegetation. When predators are about, moose foraging habits change to be constantly on the move, preventing overgrazing and increasing carbon sequestration through forest biomass.

For years, we focused solely on vegetation as a means of rebalancing the carbon cycle, but it's much deeper than that. The animal-plant relationship is complex, as nearly everything is connected.

Animals are our vital allies in the fight against climate change. Here at Global Warming Solutions, we are committed to a nature-focused approach to combating the climate crisis. We advocate for politicians and policies that protect our biodiversity.

We are coming up on our first fundraising deadline of the new year. Will you donate $3 today and join in the fight to protect our planet?

Everything is interconnected. And every action makes a difference. Let's take action.
