Did You Know Elephants Help Sequester Carbon?

We just heard from the amazing climate scientist and activist Dr. Katharine Hayhoe about a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The article explains how elephants' grazing habits actually play a role in improving carbon sequestration. By eating low-density trees, they create better growing conditions for the high carbon density trees. It's kind of like weeding! Click here to read more about it. You can learn more about Katharine Hayhoe and her inspiring work to engage families in actions to mitigate climate change on her website.
