A new study reveals urban scavengers in Ethiopia such as spotted hyenas, African wolves and vultures are providing a vital ecosystem service by consuming organic household waste that, left to rot, releases greenhouse gases and spreads disease.

Study reveals how Ethiopia's hyenas combat climate change, save money for waste management and prevent disease

Urban scavengers like spotted hyenas are preventing more than 1,000 metric tons of carbon emissions annually in Ethiopia's second-largest city, according to new research revealing the predators' role as accidental eco-warriors. By consuming organic waste that would otherwise rot, these predators are saving the city of Mekelle over $100,000 USD in waste management costs while reducing the significant sanitation risk associated with routine roadside dumping.

...your regular reminder that all models are wrong, but some are delicious! 😋

Our next #LunchBoxModels #seminar is scheduled for Wednesday (Feb 25) at 12 CET. Boris Schröder-Esselbach (TU Berlin) will talk about #EcologicalModelling and how it provides key contributions to coastal #EcosystemServices and the restoration of seagrass meadows. Don't think twice, join us! 😊

this is a good opportunity to take action, #restore habitats and species, and recover ecosystems, to be fully functional and supply #ecosystemservices for humans #MarineEcology #Research

at the Basque Country, we are restoring #seagrass fields, in estuaries which lost completely the populations, and these actions are being very successful! restoring #biodiversity and #ecosystemservices #MarineEcology #Research

Also, it resulted in a recovery of #ecosystemservices, such as recreational fishing and bathing waters, which even cover the costs of #restoration.
This is happening in many other estuaries and coasts being restored across the world!
