the and also on your info is and all the input the w story. now on to the, the new steeple. you sometimes even menissi. then you got dogs a scene is don't places they often the setting for method mysteries cause 50 tails . human being destination home, centuries was powerless. consequences absolutely. turn the systems from 6 carbon to sources of carbon. and so that's going to really exacerbate, essentially climate change. do you need ecosystem store vast amounts of carbon,
1:31 pm
but the potential has been overlooked for quite some time. these lands are like loans of the world. we could say that the, the saw, the whips of life. and these whips of flies around to stretch. it new methods could save the world's peak lands, as well as out plus the the strips of green in rural germany. something is growing here, the could help whisky bones. most of germany's wetlands have been drained and are unrecognizable. and course a gallery. m a t is crates, want to show what's being lost and how to get it back in like 3
1:32 pm
that was quicker than i thought. they regularly take samples with the pro, as the contact is going to heighten on to the lower down. that looks good, but everything above where it's dry is low. so when the people get drained begins to decompose, you can see that in the sample, in the upper layer where it's so dark, there's lots of decreases this would, that says it's almost caught that holmquist. this, the composition worries, the ecologist, pete is made up of dead plants which sunk into shallow, slightly acidic water. this oxygen poor environment doesn't allow the debris to decompose the carbon stays port. the draining exposes the layers to oxygen, which stops the composition and finds it to the element. it has been released as comp and outside. and what wasn't more detailed and keep lands on like probably more. and then they can do so much. the bio diversity alone is very special and
1:33 pm
they told me to call but and sing the surfaces. that's why it's so important that we protect sweet lens and you don't just living ones, but also the ones we drain and that tom grace, a gallery, has been function for pete lance for 20 years. she focuses on former bulbs, which she normally studies, but also works to restore through requesting. but it can only work if the farmers who live off the land agree. germany has around $1800000.00 hectares of paint lead an area of roughly the size of saxony. 98 percent has already been drained, mostly to make way for agriculture draining as a climate disaster. because it makes carbon sources of ancient carbon sinks. paisley and smell contribution about 70 percent of germany, c o. 2 emissions. by comparison, national air traffic contributes just to 0.15 percent, almost 50 times less grace a god, a wants to to in these climate chillers back into climate save us. together with
1:34 pm
local farm is a difficult and muddy task. the she and her team of researching how crops could be produced on the wetlands for the christ found maya center. the did you find it? can you know? yes to 62. they find spectrum most at this measuring station most may seem underwhelming, but the story green plants could help save the planet. they're incredibly useful for what she calls polluted culture. this comes from the top comes from parlors, which is a lot of interest as well. them full motion, so agriculture on when both land so small and vice versa, doubting, study biology and was intrigued by this most as even as a student, the usefulness was the whole 9 at the time. she's currently working on an
1:35 pm
instruction manual for polluted culture. if i don't want to do science, that just ends up in a drawer, alpharetta i want to be using, and this is a whole new kind of agriculture, of a system that could revolutionize how we grow plants piece is now used everywhere in soil for home gardening. or cultured plants by professional got them centers and for commercial vegetable fields. but out home with the piece is hosting our wetlands. she wants to replace the p use in class. so with both, most the growing, most 1st needs to become more efficient. the team is testing machines for maintaining most fields. it's precise work because they only want to remove the upper layer and preserve the precious volt below this sample, just put the lab hbo heavy
1:36 pm
of this polluted culture system was blown at the gloss. solve my us into, which is way. chris at gouter examines his favorite plant. this, this here, the toughest be this is the pete most volumes. yes. we want to try it fast and then weigh it so that we know how much a farmer could hardly use and on foot by the on it soc empty content, its stagnant muscles have unless potential for use implants. so we'll talk most the most is benefit the climate twice fall from the they can replace piece and hold a culture, a renewable material, replacing a fossil fuel. that's the 1st one in. and secondly, pete lens would be requested to cultivate the most is, which would mean that the high emissions that currently come from drain cleveland
1:37 pm
with the, i think in the lab test go well as to the 1st few trials. she's confident that they can develop a system so much production. this is where the ecological economists, sabina fishermen comes in. the job, the germany's most important pete land research center is to ensure that projects have a solid economic foundation both for the vi did a 12 month space and i knew areas will be needed to grow public also. and we're talking about hundreds of thousands of hectic and i will need to convince farms and landowners, plus the investment costs to high investor tons costs, which is why the next total for the research is, is funding bias. perhaps they can convince a god and center the north. finland has youtube's most extensive paid lands
1:38 pm
home to red animal inside spaces. but these bio types also died as i was stripped mind for fuel or drains to make room for forest plantations. taylor most and then has been working to mitigate the damage. he's a climate scientist and activist and as a globally respected scholar, he also contributed to the you in climate change reports. he has an especially strong bond is one pete land. it. he's nice, he's been land, it almost feels like lino, so it is kind of a person. you see some kind of a presence here. for example, this would piece that i'm now looking at. it may potentially be 2 or 3000 years old . i often want to think that these lands are if the memory of feeling loved without list and in his normal profit, snow change name. and so a wouldn't exist as it does today. it's one of around
1:39 pm
a few areas across the country that have been successfully rewarded. and it's new. the 46 year olds, home village. so are they testing told us everything we haven't needed to learn in order to make this a national program. and from that we started to learn and the test and innovate. how can you restore large beat land system. busy a huge project of a 110 heck test piece has been harvested. he has fuels to decades. the money just somebody took the landscape and points and the results. it was severely impacted by a human decisions for economic gain on energy production. and i've had this astro those results. there was a face that event and of course these impacts to climate that because they are active competence sources. even after the mining has stopped payroll,
1:40 pm
most students, home village also filled the fix. 10 columbus is down stream. you know, the monte china is a fisherman and most students long time frame if you just choose one piece of wood to clean them, i'll add more later or to stop being so skeptical. name is clifton. the 69 year old could only watch his pete money, really destroyed the nature and his livelihood. and not to die. i saw fish lying dead along the shore, municipal, or floating lifelessly in the water. it was terrible. i was in total, charlotte the most the time in the entire village for back. they sued the energy company with the help of children whose tenants environmental non profits and one the 1st time and finish history is that local successfully colton. piedmont, in the snow change,
1:41 pm
purchase in and so to be lee, while it is vital to listen and understand the best part of what a, not a and others are telling us. because take one thing potentially one element which is missing wisdom. what is that right thing to do? we have a pull choices of different pathways. offers funding, but always having the comb bus and map on the right choice the so it's a model for damaged areas of the and the project has been carefully documented to insure it states that way the, the afternoon. paul can build a little dam across this wasteland. another one from timber and then that's the big
1:42 pm
then environmental list. a list huge. i'm a boost call from spain is measuring greenhouse gases emitted by the soil. the natures slowly but surely reclaiming the area of to decades of exploitation. the measurements show, the size is being what the drain peak land me said. $400.00 tons of c o 2 annually. but the restore the eco system now pulls as much as a 100 tons of c o 2 a year from the atmosphere. the just a few kilometers away, the re welding process includes killing nature. thousands of pines and spruce is need to be cut down to help with 10 whitland to health. that may seem counter
1:43 pm
productive. pete lands are actually final bit short storing comp and trees. compared to help with switch climate colts. we say that we have 5 to 7 years to act, to stop leasing from this world based masons. and we are working on every part of that nationally important very by system and. and it's got cement, tory stories back to health. the excavation has to feel own drainage channels to re, with the bulk a difficult task for pete land that covers more than a 100 heck tests. but it's the only way for water to stop collecting. again the most and in develops taylor my plan for each whitland you have to be very carefully thinking where we're putting the actions and what simple,
1:44 pm
how deep or big the dams should be enabled that right, well the level the painstaking work has now being transitioned into a unique system for restoring wetlands across finland, snow change of a sort about 66, rewarding projects through 2023 finance, through donations and investors, a demanding mission, but also highly rewarding. wisdom is extremely happy about nature's return to lean . and so my good creepers that have long disappeared half or to, along with more than 200 of the animal and plant species. these place shows that with the assistance coverage and scientific commitment, we can still have a chance. and that's the biggest message we can tell from the so a message from your lips final to the world. the
1:45 pm
2nd germany, the researches from gross fault on how those are to find out how to have both most has been faring as plants. so great a god, he can. so the new fishermen, a curious to hear the results a tie saw reads most the research department at the lowest sites and the chamber of agriculture has put the scientists recommendations to the test on top of it's not too much of tomato. crohn's about could be prompted to grow and 100 percent political to substrate talking. but this is the 1st time i've seen that it's, you know, really exciting and very encouraging. perform because it shows on say, what's the point that the geraniums or tomatoes, the result show plants loved to pete free. so will research manager michel e mail believes in the polluted coaches, substrates that says that are also suitable for commercial green houses. these are
1:46 pm
stuff to see a e d audit. this material is ideal. this will view this great property yourself, isn't that nice? but the cost is a problem. zoe, the on the right now on the comb, compete with pieces. he cannot make a video. and it's just too expensive to grow. is, is, i don't know to toilet is not forgotten. but the potential is huge. what pete is usually use implant soils in germany replacing it would require growing mos in around $40000.00 tech chairs. just re wishing a small fraction, 2.2 percent of germany's pete lands could meet the demand. great, dowdy types, farmers who also see the potential movies you want us not to lose. does my vision? is that many or 3 and used to lose a culture most up straight to to cope side of that? many farmers say, oh yes you and that's what this is, you know, tons of familiarity that makes sense here. just wanted to show information sheet, lance can yield more than most of as individual build wisdom for moraneus science
1:47 pm
researching and most of mass plants twice. our cat tails are also thought to be promising the pants of robust and highly 1st autonomy. here we are. most levels originally checks to determine when cat tails happiest as safety h, as in a medium, 58. okay, okay. and what paid lens twice a grow even when is a drought. and they can cope with heavy rain plants, a sturdy and an ideal building material. now here's what i did to this whole thing cause you to see what people want. so construction installation, materials, structure with ad gaps which insulates well and it's very light, you just stick. these walls could also be used to make load bearing elements. this
1:48 pm
some of the construction sector have already seen the potential of the robust plants. this is tanisha. i am plus demo d. i thought that this isn't below an installation material hotel. it can be used like cellulose flakes or would find buns in this in quite enough. these poke pul, you can still see the shape of the leaves and it has an airy structure. and is it solid one? has a high load bearing capacity and can insulate at the same time in class had dish um easily and the researches now and these pioneers and policies that support them in progress is already being made. the gym government began supporting community culture in 2023, hoping protect piedmont park the front desk us and a polo sciences. i'm convinced that this is a great opportunity to create synergies between people and protection. sustainable agriculture and the supply renewable rule materials call. and that's what we need
1:49 pm
to address climate change in creating livable future calls to help them. so when you collaborate to is just a few kilometers away. harvest time in the re way to people in the firm a having full each grows more grass. sho, i'm just checking to see if that fails. so top most of during the recent right, that's in target voice has been harvesting more across from these fields. if we some of the 8 he is, his father begin the process. and now the 29 year old is tony more more to both finding the experts in gross fall shift some of the things so this is my numerical is tied to this as well. so i can contribute to the crime and apply to how i solve this problem that came out fuse results as most sustainable i
1:50 pm
had to go in and help our climb and on. so this is my chose to do something for this small area that i call 100 to these a strip. can i my 1st issue we will find, sorry, has been size no to 20 bit by bit. the points where you wasted 2 thirds of the farmland. they decided to become polluted. culture farm is at their own risk. have yet to receive any special subsidies. the sky. yeah, this is the products that's highest and most this wasn't subsidized. and so we had to work. he can normally from the very beginning the combustion was the most feasible and quickest to implement of a body. and as a result, one problem in the, or took the step to install this heat in prompt as a part of the project. and how to you upfront the talk and send it to load for you that's pulled her tooth and let's face it, had a high low to the full guns around 4000 barrels of dried move, cross h, e and his biomass. haitian plant is a common footprint, is negative because burning across doesn't commit more c o 2,
1:51 pm
then it's still worth while growing. and the relation folk absorbs additional common sense. what central, how does a lot of these and listen for the guy spies? myers said, it was always very generous with his knowledge of use or business, or which allowed us to make scientifically funny sound decisions here. this would have been impossible without them. they helped us feel confident that this was feasible or best of luck, but the entire town now benefits from the innovative family business. they have bio mass heating plants, supplies of school, several office buildings, and about $500.00 departments with affordable hate, even amidst an energy cost system. in motion, restoring a peak land became a win win situation for the climate farm as the local population. or what's the latest thing you guys, researches in the us are also looking at how important piece lance off. so the climates biologist naturally griffith and soil scientist, randy coca using these glass towers to research what
1:52 pm
a global climate policy should look like. and to do this, the biologist and climate scientists appearing into the future. and this is just an experiment to demonstrate that this is how it might look 50, a 100150 years now of the my cell, experimental forest, us government research station in northern, minnesota. the facility has an annual budget of about $5000000.00, making it one of the most expensive climate experiments in the world. naturally griffith, i'm just seeing a groundbreaking project on how flat to pray and people hands will decompose the climate change it's samples to be buried in bags. and we bought them get a better sense of what's going to happen to these ecosystems under teacher climate . they're very critical ecosystems for carbon does carbons been deposited over a thousands of years. and so it's really important understand what's going to happen under warming, today's really high carbon equal systems. colin griffith's,
1:53 pm
he's up to pete, simulating the different climates in each class. how. how will the both behave at 9 degrees of global warming, or the bags provide crucial clues experience for 7 years pretty decompose, and we have a lot of other bags buried in the seat here. the high, the temperature, the oil, the organic components and the pete decompose and the more harmful c o 2 gets released. a disaster. so the clock or mean really increases the rate of the composition and the feet when. and so we absolutely turn the eco systems from things of carbon and sources of carbon. and it's an additional source of carbon dioxide and nothing that must do that's really not well accounted for these global models that predict our future climate. they also helps develop and up to my
1:54 pm
scenarios to better assist the impacts of climate change fail here for another 3 years back back in the ground. randy poker helped establish the research station more than 10 years ago. the 58 year old isn't just researching the future. he also wants to help shape. it's the biggest thing that we're learning is you know, that we can affect how these eco systems behave now and in the future. and if we want to mitigate or limit the ability of our eco systems like plans to influence climate change, then you start thinking about doing some things. now the findings to raise the awareness of pete lands at the highest political levels. and they are feeding into the you an integral of mental panel on climate change or i,
1:55 pm
p c. c. reports were very proud of the impact for make and you know, unbeknownst to this community, you know, 20 years ago was really the critical importance of these eco systems. and so people on this were relatively under study, but our current research is going to impact and get to the decision makers at all levels of government start thinking about or how to conserve these eco systems. the scientific evidence shows the peat land protection equals climate protection, and the potential is unknown, but low pete lands coverage is 3 percent of the world's land area, a store twice as much competent as the world's for us. the, it may look dangerous or mystical at these song call them sing champions,
