into 6 trip to some pretty wacky places. curiosity is required to borrow today. 60 minutes, d w. these places in europe are smash. step into an old adventure. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of us record breaking site on drawbacks youtube. and now also in the book form the new stool. you sometimes even menissi then you got dogs. a scene is don't places they often with setting some added mysteries. it was 50 tale humans being destination home, centuries was powerless. consequences. absolutely. turn the

systems from the 6 carbon sources of carbon. and so that's going to really exacerbate and potentially climate change. do you need ecosystem store vast amounts of carbon 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 width of life and these whips of flies around to stretch it new methods could save the world's peak lands as well as cell plus the. 2 the the strips of green in rural germany. something is growing here,

the could help whisky folks. 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. then but the 3 that was quick of the nice thoughts was they regularly take samples with the pro or the 23rd is going to heighten on to the snow it down. it looks good, but everything above where it's dry as last which, which is when the people get drained, begins to decompose. you can see that in the sample in the upper layer where it's so doc, there's lots of decreases this with that says it's almost constant holmquist. this the composition worries, the ecologist. pete is made up of dead plants which sunk into shallow, slightly, a city closer. this oxygen poor environment doesn't allow the debris to decompose. the carbon stays porch, the draining exposure,

it has been released as comp and dioxide. and what wasn't what they tell and keep lands on like probably more. and then they can do so much. this is the bio diversity alone is very special and they told me to call but and sing the surfaces . and that was why it's so important that we protect. so people and i mean, not just living ones, but also the ones we trained in that time. grace, a gallery has been function for pete lance for 20 years. she focuses on form adults, which she know here, new studies, but also works to restore through re wishing. but it can only work if the farmers who live off the lat agree. germany has around 1800000 hectares of peat land, an area of roughly the size of saxony, 98 percent has already been drained, mostly to make way for agriculture draining is a climate disaster because it makes carbon sources of ancient calvin sinks p lands now contribution about specific contributes just to 0.15 percent,

almost 50 times less grace a god, a wants to turn these climate killers back into climate save us. together with local farm is a difficult and muddy task. the she and her team of researching how crops could be produced on wetlands for the price minus into the or did you find it keno? yes, $262.00. they find spectrum most at this measuring station most may seem underwhelming, but the style re 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 nice and this is woman full motion. so agriculture on went both lines to small and vice versa. got

a study biology and was intrigued by this most as even as a student, the usefulness was equal 9 at the time. she's currently working on the instruction manual for polluted culture. if i don't want to do science, that just ends up in a drawing 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 god, incentives and for commercial vegetable feels hunger for peace is hosting our wetlands. she wants to replace the p use in plants. so it was both most 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,

this put the lab for each meal heavy this polluted culture system was blown at the gloss sold, minus into which is we chris, a gallery examines his favorite plant the justice here the talk must be this is the pete most volumes. yes. we want me to dry it fast and then weigh it so that we know how much a farmer could have used and on foot valley and it's ok and come to spectrum. most of us have unless potential for use implants, so we'll talk most the most is benefit the climate twice in fall from us. they can replace piece and hold a culture in a renewable material, replacing a fossil fuel. that's the 1st one in m o. and secondly,

pete lens would be requested to cultivate the most of which would mean that the high emissions that currently come from drain cleveland. 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 some that's production. this is where the ecological economists, sabina fishman, comes in. the job of germany's most important pete land research center is to ensure that projects have a solid economic foundation both for the vi to the total space in i. new areas will be needed to grow public muscle. and we're talking about hundreds of thousands of heck to is done so to will need to convince farms and landowners, plus the investment costs to high invested tons costs, which is why the next total for the researches is funding bias. perhaps i can convince god and center

the north. finland has youtube's most extensive paid lands home to red animal and plant 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, climate, scientists, and activist, and as a globally respective scholar. he also contributed to the you in climate change reports. he has an especially strong bond is one people and it, he's nice, he's been and it almost feels like lino. so it is kind of a person. you'll see some kind of a presence here. for example, this would piece that i'm now looking at may potentially be 2 or 3000 years old. i often want to think that these lines are if the memory of feeling loved with all

those to them and his normal profit, snow change, and then on. so a wouldn't exist as it does today. it's one of around a few areas across the country that have been successfully rewarded. and it's new to 46 year olds, home village. so key or is it has told us everything we have 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 and launch beat land system. busy a huge projects of a 110 hic tents 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 and energy production that had disastrous results. there was a face that event and of course these impacts to climate that because they are

active comp and sources. even after the mining has stopped pedro most students, home village also still the fix to in columbus is down stream. you know, the maci kind of is a fisherman and most students long time frame. if you just use one piece of wood clean the, i'll add more later, going to stop being so skeptical. name is clifton. the 69 year old could only watch is pete mining really destroyed the nature and his livelihood and not to die. and i saw fish lying dead along the show me a list or floating lifelessly in the water. it was terrible. i was in total, charlotte, ronald murphy kind and the entire village, full back. they sued the energy company with the help of children whose tenants environmental non profits and one the 1st time in finish history is that local

successfully colton. piedmont, in the snow change purchase student and so to be we wanted 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 who is 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 the big then environment 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 with is the trained people and me said full 100100 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 pretend whitland to health. that

may seem counter productive. pete lands are actually final base short storing comp and then trace and compare to help us reach out climate goals. 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 months. and it scouts meant to restore its back to health. the excavation has to fill on drainage channels to we with the bulk a difficult task for pete land that covers more than a 100 hectic. but it's the only way for water to start connecting again the most and end develops a taylor my plan for each whitland you have to be very carefully thinking where

we're putting the actions and what simple, how deep or big the dams should be enabled. that right or the level, the painstaking work has now been converted into a unique system for restoring wetlands across finland, snow change of a sort about 66, rewarding projects through 2023 finance, through donations and invest as 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 have returned along with more than 200 of the animal implant 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

back in germany, the researches from cross fault. i mean how those are to find out how to have both most has been feeling as planned. so great a godaddy can sabina vision. i'm curious to hear the results tie fall, reads the most, the research department at the lowest sites and the chamber of agriculture has put the scientists recommendations to the test and cope with not tomorrow. gotcha. tomato pounds about the pounds as a grow and 100 percent political to substrate talking back. this is the 1st time i've seen that don't this? yeah, it's, you know, really exciting and very encouraging for them because they're shown on tape a point that the germanium is autumn, offsets the result show plants loved to pete free. so will research manager. michelle, emailed the leads and the polluted coaches. substrates says that are also suitable

for commercial green houses. these are stuff to see. a lot of this material is ideal. this will be just great. property yourself that you don't need. the cost is a problem. zoe. d. all right now on the comb, compete with pete so you can always go completely. it's just too expensive to cross, as i don't know to toilet is much got and some of the potential is huge. what pete is usually use in plant soils in germany, replacing it would require growing mos in around $40000.00 tech to it's just re wishing a small fraction. 2.2 percent of germany's pete lands could meet the demand great to dowdy types. farmers will also see the potential movies you want us not to least of my vision is that many you agree and use to lose a culture must substrate to. to cope side of the many farm is say, yes you and, and what does this as an alternative for needing to that makes sense here just wanted to show information. sealants can yield more than most of

individual build wisdom for moraneus scientists researching another mass plant. type our cat towels are also thought to be promising. the pants of robust and highly 1st autonomy here we are smoked levels originally checks to determine when kat tails happiest. 58 centimeters. 58. ok. okay. and what paid lens tie for growth even when there's 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 house that can cause you to see what people want for construction installation materials. what is the structure with a gap which insulates well and it's very light, it just has to. these walls can also be used to make load bearing elements. this

some of the construction sector have already seen the potential of the road past plan. this is tanisha i am plus demo d. i thought that this isn't blowing installation material which can be used like cellulose flakes or would find them in um doesn't quite enough. these poke pull. 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. and like i said, this isn't young researches now. and these pioneers and policies that support them and progress is already being made. the gym government began supporting community culture in 2023, hoping protect the lens of a truck, the front desk us and a total strong says, 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 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 found the heading for each grows more grass. the show i'm just checking to see if that fails . so top most of during the recent right, you had some target which has been harvesting more grass from these fields. every, some of the 8 years is fall to 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 more

sustainable i 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, who will find sources precise note to 20 bit by bit, the points we wasted 2 thirds of the farmland. they decided to become polluted culture farm is at their own risk. they have yet to receive any special subsidies this 5. yeah, this mission products that's highest and most of this wasn't subsidized. and so we had to work. and normally from the very beginning, the combustion was the most feasible and quickest to implement of a body. and as a result, when my brother in law took the step to install this heating process upon that project and how to you upfront and talk and send it, it's hello toy act as portal to. and let's face it, had a high, low to the full guns around $4000.00 barrels of dr. move across the cheese and his biomass. haitian plant is a common footprint,

is negative because burning across doesn't commit more c o 2, then it's still worth while growing. and the religion folk absorbs additional comp and that's what central part of it is in business for the guy spies. myers said it was always very generous with his knowledge. it is a business rep which allowed us to make scientifically on his own decisions here. this would have been impossible without them. they helped us feel confident that this was feasible uh, best of luck with the entire town now. benefits from the innovative family business . the bio mass heating plants, supplies of school, several office buildings, and about 500 departments with affordable hate even amidst an energy crisis. in motion, restoring a pete 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 plans off of the climate biologist naturally griffith and soil scientist,

randy coca using these glass towers to research what 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. not really quick that's overseeing a groundbreaking project on how plant to pre and people hands will decompose the climate change it's samples to be buried bags. and so 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 thousands of years. and so it's really important understand what's going to happen

under warming, these really high carbon equal systems. colin goose this, he's up to pete, simulating the different climates in each class. how. how will the both behave at 9 degrees of global warming? the bags provide crucial clues experience for 7 years pretty. they compose. 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 for the clock or mean really increases the rate of the composition and the feet one. and so we absolutely turn the eco systems from thinks of carbon, the sources of carbon and the additional source of carbon dioxide and nothing that must do, that's really not well accounted for these global models that predict the future

climate. the also helps develop and up to my 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 p loans to influence climate change, they need to 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 in integral of mental panel on climate change or i p c. c. reports were very proud of the impact for make and you know, i'm, but now it's 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 the product conserves 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. they store twice as much comp and as the world's for us.

it may look dangerous or mystical at these song, cobblins sing, champions could become the ultimate climate. save us the

joy of fascinating worlds. charging our guy. it's no other way around. a strictly scientific trip to some pretty wacky places. curiosity is required tomorrow to day 30 minutes on dw kind eyes and a fuzzy may meet patrick in the pony, probably the cute as mayor,

and all living with the inhabitants of talking to in his own village duly elected him to office in 2019. since then, he has been hard at work and mingling with the people is at the top of his agenda. your room, him 60 d w. the have to say there's to us the that's why listen to their stories. the reporter, every weekend on d w. imagine how many portion of loans us turn out in the world climate change.

the story, this is much less the way from just one week. how much was going to really get we still have time to work. i'm going to access the political in this great for investing the theme, the fees. everyone here just wants to get into bit corner. they're known as the queen, arrows, digital, gold digger, as investors from all over are moving to latin america in search of been going treasure. nowhere is the crypto currency value is more highly than here. but for many, the frenzy ends in ruins. the queen in latin america starts august 18th on d. w. the

. this is dw news live from bell in the search for victims of the deadly wildfire in hawaii. emergency crews with sniffer dogs are going through a burnout buildings for human remains, but it's a slow process. and police say only a tiny fraction of the such area as the coverage so far.
