We’re tipping the scales—in the wrong direction. If you weighed all the terrestrial mammals on Earth, the weight of humans and mammal livestock like cows would make up 98.15% of the total, with all the other 6,500+ species, from squirrels to gorillas to elephants, weighing only 1.85%. By harnessing the efficient power of plants to rewild your diet, which requires much less land and other resources to produce than meat and dairy, you can help protect forests AND restore the wild.
