Grazing by Mammalian Herbivores: A Climate Mitigation Strategy

According to a 16-year-long study conducted by scientists at the Centre for Ecological Sciences (CES) and the Divecha Centre for Climate Change (DCCC), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), large mammalian herbivores like the yak and ibex play an important role in sustaining the pool of soil carbon in grazing ecosystems like the Spiti region in the Himalayas.
