Nature can provide a Solution

Restore the Mammoth Steppe Ecosystem

During the last Ice Age, steppes with millions of mammoths, bison, horses, reindeers, tigers, wolves and numerous other animals occupied vast landscapes, spanning from Spain to Canada and from the Arctic islands to China. The first humans came to this place and quickly killed most animals, driving many species extinct, and destroying the fragile symbiosis between plants and animals. We want to reintroduce these animals back to their ancient land and let them transform it.

Horses, bison and musk ox are grazing together for the first time in 10,000 years the Pleistocene Park; proving that high productive grazing ecosystem can flourish today

How grazing ecosystems mitigate climate change

Permafrost Cooling Herbivores compact snow in winter as they graze, removing a layer of insulation and exposing permafrost to extreme cold Albedo Effect Grassland terrain is lighter in color than shrubland and forests, reflecting more sun and reducing overall heat absorbtion Photosynthesis Grasses absorb carbon dioxide with photosynthesis and create a massive root system which locks carbon in the cold Arctic soils
