Large herbivores mitigate climate change in the Arctic, coastal protection benefits nearby communities, and researchers created synthetic embryos using human stem cells. Herbivores mitigate climate change in the Arctic Scientists conducted a 15-year study examining the impact of climate change and plant-eating animals on the diversity of plants, fungi, and lichens in the Arctic tundra. They discovered that while diversity declined over time, primarily due to sea ice loss caused by rising temperatures, large herbivores like muskoxen played a role in mitigating this decline. Encouraging a variety of plant-eating animals through rewilding initiatives can reduce the effects of global warming on tundra diversity.
