#DYK Alligators are wetland #ClimateHeroes? 🐊
American wetlands with alligators store more carbon than those without them. In fact, alligators also help create wetlands by digging dens, carving channels & creating small ponds.

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

#DYK blue whales are the ocean’s giant fertilisers? 🐋
Their nutrient-rich poo releases nutrients that feed phytoplankton, fixing ~11 million tons of #CO2 a year. Even in death, they sink carbon to the deep sea for centuries.

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.

Did you know penguins help make clouds? 🐧☁️
Their guano helps seed clouds, reflecting sunlight & cooling climate - while fertilising the ocean & feeding entire food webs.
