The Future of Nature

How carbon is drawn down by the oceans is surprising. Discover the “biological carbon pump” and how the ocean, from plankton to whale poop, and the fish we eat to the secrets of the deep, is vital to removing carbon from the atmosphere.

Carbon drawdown is boosted by life, and the biggest animal numbers are found in the grasslands. Champions of nature and the latest science reveal how important they are to our future, and how we can restore them to health and abundance.

Forests are the most effective carbon pumps on Earth, but only when they’re functioning well and rich in species! Meet people working to improve biodiversity, saving keystone species and using indigenous wisdom to restore our forests.

We’re the ultimate ecosystem engineers, a keystone species. From the metropolises of China to the outskirts of LA, from the bogs of Ireland to the Favelas of Rio, see how people are working with nature to make this world better.
