🦬 Rewilded Bison are climate heroes!
New research from yale University shows that 170 European Bison in Romania’s Tarcu Mountains are capturing the equivalent CO2 emissions of removing up to 84,000 average US gasoline cars from the road. 🚗
European Bison, reintroduced by wwf.romania and rewildingeurope, have grown from zero to over 170 in the Southern Carpathians since 2014. Using a groundbreaking model from Yale, scientists discovered that these bison help capture nearly 10x more carbon than if they weren't present. 🌿
🟢 Re:wild partner, globalrewildingalliance has been working with Yale on a new model, which is proving the powerful role rewilding plays in the fight against climate change! The model is now being applied worldwide with exciting potential. Learn more about these incredible findings and the impact of rewilding efforts - link in bio.
