Restoring populations of large mammals in the wild may help in mitigating climate change, for example by increasing the capture of carbon by ecosystems. This is the conclusion of several members of ACE, in collaboration with scientists from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Utrecht University and the University of New Mexico, in a synthesis of existing studies. This synthesis was published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B.
