What Poo Can Do: How Animals Are Fighting the Climate Crisis (Orca Footprints)

Description

We all know animals are affected by the climate crisis. But did you know the climate crisis is also affected by animals?

From whales to dung beetles, What Poo Can Do explores how animals big and small are helping the planet every time they do a number two. Come on a journey to different parts of the world to see how animals are fertilizing plants, storing carbon, preventing fires, reducing methane and even creating color-coded maps―all through their feces! Readers will discover how animal defecation makes a difference when it comes to the climate crisis. It's time to embrace the power of poo!

The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.
