to say was not what makes the demons do just in love, fear about anything except away from the fund. i'm not even allowed to go to my own car and everyone with little holes and every single day stuff. getting you ready to meet the driver and then join me, right? just do it on dw, the the, you still you sometimes even menissi. then you got dogs a scene is don't places they off in the setting for mad mysteries. it was 50 tails . human 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
7:31 pm
exacerbate, essentially 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 so the width of life and these whips the flies around to stretch it new methods could save the world's peak lands as well as cell plus the the strips of green in rural germany. something is growing in the could help rescue bolts. most of germany's wetlands have being drained in our unrecognizable pond course. a gallery m a t is
7:32 pm
crates, want to show what's being lost and how to get it back then. but the 3 that was quicker than my thoughts was they regularly take samples with the proud to of school to heighten, on to the lower down. it looks good, but everything above where it's dry is low. so with the, 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 the composition with that says it's almost caught that who was this the composition worries, the ecologist, pete is made up of dead plants, which sunk into shallow, slightly, a city close to this oxygen poor environment doesn't a lot 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 dioxide and what wasn't more detailed and keep lands on like probably more
7:33 pm
. and then they can do so much because the bio diversity alone is very special and they told me to call but and sing the surfaces. that was why it's so important that we protect shortlands and don't just living ones, but also the ones we drain and that tom, the grace, the gallery, has been functions of pete lance for 20 years. she focuses on former bulbs which she know her new studies, but also works to restore through re wishing, but it can only work if the farmers who live off the land 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. the land 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
7:34 pm
a god, a wants to to in these climate chillers 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 the wetlands for the gross found my 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 style re green plants could help save the planet. these are incredibly useful for what she calls polluted culture. that's comfortable, the product comes from parlors, which is lots and for us as well. them full motion. so agriculture on went both lines to small and vice versa, doubting,
7:35 pm
study biology and was intrigued by this most as even as a student, the usefulness was little 9 at the time. she's currently working on an instruction manual for polluted culture or that if i don't want to do saw you and stuff just ends up in a draw it out for the 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 fields. without hunger for peace is hosting our wetlands. she wants to replace the p use in plants, so it was bulk, most growing. most pers 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,
7:36 pm
this put the lab for each real heavy this polluted culture system was blown at the glass full minus into which is a chris a gallery examines his favorite plant this, this here at the top most b, this is the pete most volumes. we want to dry it fast and then weigh it so that we know how much a farmer could hardly use an answer by the and it's ok and to come to of the segment must have been moonless potential for use compliance. so we'll talk most the most is benefit the climate flight and fall from so they can replace piece and hold the culture in a renewable material, replacing a fossil fuel that's across the board in. and secondly,
7:37 pm
pete lens would be requested to cultivate the most of which would mean that the high emissions that currently come from drain caitlin's with the i think in the lab to go well as through this is charles. she's confident that they can develop a system. so much 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 vice of the 12, most places. new areas will be needed to grow public also. and we're talking about hundreds of thousands of heck to is 9. so we'll 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 they can convince a god and center the
7:38 pm
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 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 some especially strong bond, is one pete land. it. he's nice, he's been and 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 to years old. i often want to think that these lands are if the memory of feeling loved
7:39 pm
without hosting him and his normal profits. no change then. and 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. the 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 large 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 present the results. it was severely impacted by a human decisions for economic gain and a to production that had disastrous results. there was a face that event and of course these impacts to climate that because they are
7:40 pm
active comp and sauces. even after the mining has stopped terrible students, home village also still the fix 10. columbus is down stream. you know the magic time and it's a fisherman and most students, long timeframe. if you just choose one piece of wood to 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 money nearly destroyed the nature and his livelihood not to die. and i saw fish lying dead along the show me a list of floating lifelessly in the water. obviously it was terrible. i was in total, charlotte room mostly time and the entire village, full back. they sued the energy company with the help of general most tenants, environmental non profits, and one the 1st time and finish history that local successfully colton. piedmont,
7:41 pm
in the snow change, purchase in and so to be lee wild it 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 as we still 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 ball can build
7:42 pm
a little dam across this wasteland. another one from paper and then the big then environmental list a list huge. i'm a boost call from spain is measuring greenhouse gases emitted by the soil. the nature is slowly but surely reclaiming the area of to decades of exploitation. the measurements show the size is being with the drain peak land emitted 400 tons of c o 2 annually. but the restored 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
7:43 pm
may seem counter productive for pete lands are actually final bit short storing comp and trees and compare to help with switch 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 pretty by system and. and it's got cement to restore it back to health. the excavation has to feel own drainage channels to we 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 start connecting again the most and in develops taylor my plan. for each whitland,
7:44 pm
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? well, the level, the painstaking world 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 to 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,
7:45 pm
the back in germany, the researches from gross fault on how those are to find out how to have both most has been faring as plants, soil, grace, a god, he can sabina fishermen. a curious to see if there was a all the time i saw reads most the research department at the lowest sites and the chamber of agriculture has put the scientists recommendations to the test on cope with my tomatoes or tomato crowns about could be prompted to grow and 100 percent political to substrate talking park. this is the 1st time i've seen that it's, you know, really exciting and very encouraging for long because they've shown on say, what's the point that the geraniums, or to mazda. it's the result show plants love to pete free,
7:46 pm
so will research manager michel e mail believes in the polluted coaches. substrates says they're also suitable for commercial green houses. these are stuff the c a eod. this material is ideal. this will be just great property yourself. these, you know, nice the cost is a problem, the we d, all right now on the comp compete with pete, so you can always go completely. it's just too expensive to cross, as i don't know to toil is much got but the potential is huge. what pete is usually use implant soils in germany replacing it would require growing most in around $40000.00 tech to is just re wishing a small fraction. 2.2 percent of germany's pete lands could meet the demand great dowdy types, farmers will also see the potential movies you want us not to really just, my vision is that many agree and use to lose a culture must substrate so hoops a cult site of the many farmers say, oh yes, yeah, and that's what this is,
7:47 pm
you know, tons of familiarity that makes sense. here the school wants to offer mission. feet lands can yield more than most of as individual build wisdom, pomeranian scientists researching another of mass plants. twice our cat tails are also thought to be promising. the pants of robust and highly 1st a title. here we are most levels of originally check digit tim and when kat tales happiest as 68 the 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. so construction. so insulation materials, what is the structure with gaps which insulates well and it's very light,
7:48 pm
it just has to these walls can also be used to make load bearing animals. this some of the construction sector have already seen the potential of the road last plan. this is so much design plus demo, de i thought that this isn't blowing installation material which can be used like cellulose flakes or would find buns in this in craig and nobody's poke poor. 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 blast had dish um, 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 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
7:49 pm
agriculture and the supply renewable rule materials call. and that's what we need to address climate change in creating livable future calls to shuffle. 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 filed 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
7:50 pm
this is my new move. please tied to this as well. so i can contribute to the crime and apply to how i solve this problem that came up, use results as more sustainable. i had to give them 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 4 weeks free wasted 2 thirds of the farmland. they decided to become polluted culture farm is at their own risk. i have yet to receive any special subsidies despite 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, when my brother in law took the step to install this heat and prompt as a part of the project and how to you upfront to talk and send it to load for you. that's portal too. and that's a good, a high low to the full phones around 4000 barrels of dried move across the cheese
7:51 pm
when he's buying a mess. heating plant is a common footprint is negative, because boning regardless doesn't commit more c o 2 and 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 spied meyers said it was always very generous with his knowledge of your service and stuff 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 uh, best of luck with the entire town now. benefits from the innovative family business . they have bio mass, aging plan supplies of school, several office buildings, and about $500.00 departments with affordable hate even. and it's an energy cost system. 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 pete lands off of the
7:52 pm
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 this, the biologist and climate scientists appearing into the future. and this is just an experiment to demonstrate that this is how that might look 50, a 100150 years now of the my cell, experimental forest, u. s. 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 is overseeing a ground breaking project on how flat to pray and people hands will decompose the climate change. its samples have been buried in bags, and we bought them get a better sense of what's going to happen to these eco systems under teacher climates. they're very critical ecosystems for carbon does carbons been deposited
7:53 pm
over a thousands of years. and so it's really important understand what's going to happen under warming. and these really high carbon ecosystems, colker and griffith. he's up to pete, simulating the different climates in each class. how. how will the book behave at 9 degrees of global warming, or the bags provide crucial clues experience for 7 years pretty composed, and we have a lot of other bags buried in the seat here. the high, the temperature, the movie will get it 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 decomposition and the feet one. and so we absolutely turn the eco systems from thinks of carbon, the sources of carbon, and it's an additional source of carbon dioxide and nothing that must do,
7:54 pm
that's really not well accounted for these global models to predict the future climate. the task 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 because systems like p loans to influence climate change, they need to start thinking about doing some things. now the findings to raise the
7:55 pm
awareness of pete lands at the highest political levels. and they are feeding into the you and integral of mental panel on climate change. or i pcc 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 appeal on this for a 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 how to conserve these eco systems. the scientific evidence shows the peat, land protection equals climate protection, and the potential is unknown, but the 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. the,

really go in his where uprising, my guess is to be done. compet soon is russian investigative journalist and security services expert. andre hello is added to our website tracks the russian intelligence center. how long can hold on to balance the 90 minute? dw, the sometimes a seed is all you need to allow big ideas to grow. we're bringing an environmental conservation to life with learning facts like global ideas. we will show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing,
