Hey Everybody, I’ve been passively a part of this group for a while. I see a lot of technical, high-cost solutions here for CDR, but I haven’t seen alot on CDR or mitigation strategies that uses natural processes like ecosystem restoration.
One of the most ambitious, and surprising solutions I’ve seen for preventing amplifying methane feedback loops in the Arctic is the work of the Zimov’s at Pleistocene Park. They hypothesize that bringing back large herds of mammals can restore Pleistocene era grasslands in the Siberian Tundra, which would in turn help keep the temperature of the permafrost lower and prevent catastrophic methane releases. The Zimov’s work has been featured in VICE, New Scientist, Smithsonian, and countless journals, and their evidence is pretty compelling. The reason I wanted to post this is I’m hosting a webinar Saturday with Nikita Zimov, who is in the middle of a kickstarter campaign that ends Sunday morning. If you want to learn more about Pleistocene Park, or geo-engineering via ecosystem restoration, then come join us on Saturday (April 8, 10:30AM PST) We’ll have a 45 minute presentation with Nikita, followed by a Q&A where you can ask him any questions that you have. Here’s the link to the webinar for those interested: http://www.sustainabledesignmasterclass.com/zimov <http://www.sustainabledesignmasterclass.com/zimov> Best, Raleigh Latham www.sustainabledesignmasterclass.com <http://www.sustainabledesignmasterclass.com/> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
