Meet the agouti ⤵️
These rodents in Central & South America are key to dispersing hard seeds in rainforests. By burying them over long distances, they help forests grow. 🌳
Protecting animals = more trees = more carbon stored.

#DYK fish help fight climate change? 🐟
Through the ocean’s biological pump, fish help move carbon into the deep sea. Scientists estimate they contribute ~16% of ocean carbon export.

#DYK seabirds are #ClimateHeroes? 🐦🌊
By depositing nutrient-rich guano, seabirds help:
✅ fertilise coastal and marine ecosystems
✅ boost coral reef growth, reducing coastal erosion
✅ strengthen plant growth that absorbs and stores carbon

Did you know tapirs help build forests? 🌳
They swallow whole fruits & release thousands of seeds in their dung, often in degraded forests. By spreading large, carbon-rich tree species, tapirs help restore forests & lock in carbon long-term.

🦇 Insect-eating bats are silent allies to farmers by devouring pests that destroy crops. Their nightly work saves an estimated US $1 billion a year ‼️ on corn by cutting pesticide use and stabilising yields.
Bats are #ClimateHeroes, too.

🐺 Grey wolves are #ClimateHeroes: They protect young trees in Canada's boreal forests by controlling herbivore populations like moose.
▶️ The result? They help remove CO2 equivalent to emissions from 33-71 million cars per year. ❗
