Natural Climate Solutions

Holistic Solutions for Wildlife, Climate, and People

Through their natural interactions with their habitats, wildlife play a critical role in balancing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This makes wildlife conservation vital for mitigating climate change. Partners in our Network invest in natural climate solutions by protecting endangered wildlife, restoring depleted forests, and safeguarding terrestrial and marine habitats around the world that act as natural “carbon sinks”, working like sponges to absorb carbon. Investing in conservation helps wildlife and people thrive and offers a natural remedy for climate change.
