15 位來自 8 個國家的科學家發表了一項研究,指透過復育 9 類野生動物(魚類、鯨魚、鯊魚、灰狼、牛羚、海獺、麝牛、非洲森林象及美洲野牛),能有助去除 95% 的碳排放及減緩氣候變化。野生動物透過與環境的互動(如覓食及種子傳播等)對碳循環非常關鍵。 因此,要解決氣候危機,復育野生動物是必要的。
A study published by 15 scientists from 8 countries stated that by restoring 9 groups of wildlife (fish, whales, sharks, grey wolves, wildebeest, sea otters, musk oxen, African forest elephants, and American bison), ccan help reduce 95% of carbon emission and mitigate climate changes. Wild animals play an important role in carbon cycle through their interaction with the environment like foraging and seed dispersal. Therefore, to solve the climate crisis, restoring wild animal should be included as well.
