1:30 pm
the state, why is there another way officer ruled the environment is not responsible. make up your own mind. dw, made for mines. the . the new steeple. you sometimes even menissi. then you've got dogs a scene is don't places they off in the setting for med mysteries or speech tails. human being destination home centuries was powerless. consequences absolutely. turn the systems from 6 carbon to sources of carbon. so that's going
1:31 pm
to really 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 saw, the whips of life. and these whips of life around to stretch it new methods could save the world's peak lands as well as our plan has the. 2 the the strips of green in rural germany. something is growing here, the could help rescue bolts. most of germany's wetlands have been drained and our unrecognizable pond requests
1:32 pm
a gallery of mathias crates. want to show what's being lost and how to get it back and wait. 3, that was quicker than my thoughts. they regularly take samples with the pro of the twin towers. good to heighten, onto the lower down. that looks good, but everything above where its dry is low. so with the, when the people gets drained, begins to decompose, you can see that in the sample in the upper layer where it's so doc, there's lots of the composition with that says it's all scottsdale holmquist, this, the composition worries, the ecologist, pete is made up of dead plants which funk into shallow slightly, a city closer this oxygen poor environment doesn't allow the debris to decompose. the carbon stays. port draining exposes the last to oxygen, which stops the composition and finds it to the element. it has been released as copper dioxide. and what wasn't what they tell and keep lands on like probably mock
1:33 pm
and then they can do certain amount. the biodiversity 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 don't just living ones, but also the ones we drained 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 $1800000.00 hectares of peat lead an area 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, the land smell contribution about 70 percent of germany, c o 2 emissions. by comparison, national air traffic contributes just to 0.15 percent,
1:34 pm
almost 50 times less grace of god. he wants to turn these climate chillers back into climate saves, 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? 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. they're incredibly useful for what she calls polluted culture. this comes from the top comes from parlors, which is lots and this is woman full motion. so agriculture on went both lines to small and vice versa,
1:35 pm
guarding studied 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 the 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. of 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 implants to help 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 if they only want to remove the upper layer and preserve the precious volt below this sample, this puts
1:36 pm
a lab for each real heavy of this polluted culture system was blown at the gloss sold minus into which is we . chris at gouter examines his favorite plant. this, this here at the top most b, this is the pete most volumes. we want to try it fast and then weigh it so that we know how much a farmer could have used and on foot by the on the socket applicant to of the stagnant muscles have been moonless potential for use implants. so we'll talk most the most is benefit the climate twice fall from us. they can replace piece and hold a culture, a renewable material, replacing a fossil fuel. that's the 1st one in. and secondly,
1:37 pm
pete lens would be requested to cultivate the most is, which would mean that the high emissions that currently come from drain cleveland with the, i think in the lab to go well as to the 1st few trials. she's confident that they can develop the system so much production. this is where the ecological economists, sabina vision 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 top most facing new areas will be needed to grow public also. and we're talking about hundreds of thousands of hectic, non so to will need to convince farms and landowners, plus the investment costs to high investor tons costs, which is why the next total for the researches is funding bias. perhaps they can convince a god and center the
1:38 pm
north. finland has units, most extensive paid lands home to red animal and plant spaces the 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. 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 no 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
1:39 pm
list and in his normal profit, snow change. so it 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 are the tests, 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 and launch beat land system. busy a huge projects 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 and energy production that had disastrous results. there was a face that event and of course these impacts to climate because they are active
1:40 pm
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 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 is pete mining nearly 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. obviously, it was terrible. i was in total, charlotte room mostly 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 that local successfully colton.
1:41 pm
piedmont, in the snow change purchase in and so to be we, 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 the project has been carefully documented to insure it states that way the,
1:42 pm
the afternoon. paul can build a little dam across this wasteland. another one from timber and then that's 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 drain peak, land me said 400 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
1:43 pm
need to be cut down to help with 10 whitland to health. that may seem counter productive for pete lance are actually found better at storing comp and trees. compared to help with switch 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 and. and it's got cement, tory stories 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 hicks is. but it's the only way for water to start connecting again. the
1:44 pm
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, 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 over sore about 66 re welding 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 sleepers 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.
1:45 pm
the 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 godaddy can sabina vision. i'm curious to hear the results with ty 5 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. gotcha. tomato crowns are 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. for long does it show a multi point. that's a geraniums or to mazda, it's the result show plants love to pete free. so will research manager michel
1:46 pm
e mail believes in the polluted coaches, substrates says that are also suitable for commercial. green houses is our stuff is the, this material is ideal. this will be this great property. you yourself get, you know, nice. the cost is a problem. zoe, the on the right now on the comb, compete with pete so you can always go, 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 wasting 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 lose just um, 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,
1:47 pm
tons of familiarity that makes sense here. just wanted to show information sheet, lance can yield more than most of as in mid to build wisdom pomeranian scientists researching another mass plant. type our cat tails are also thought to be promising the pants of robust and highly 1st autonomy here we are most levels of originally checks to determine when cat tails happiest as c c h, as in a meeting, 58. okay. okay. and what plans type for gross, even when there's a drought, and they can cope with heavy rain plants, a sturdy and an ideal building materials. know how to tune this whole thing cuz you can see what people want. so construction. so insulation materials structure with ad gaps which insulates well and it's very light. it just has to. these walls can
1:48 pm
also be used to make load bearing animals. this some of the construction sector have already seen the potential of the robust plan. this is tanisha. i am plus demo d, i thought that this isn't below an installation material which it can be used like cellulose flakes or would find buns in this in quite enough. these poke tools. 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 isn't young 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 protects. piedmont park, the fondest us, and apollo sciences. i am convinced that this is a great opportunity to create synergies between people and protection. sustainable
1:49 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 help them. so when you collaborate to is just a few kilometers away. harvest time in the re way to people in the farmer hanging for each close move grass. sho, i'm just checking to see if that fails. so talk more. so during the recent right, you had some target which has been harvesting more grass 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 ship. some of the things this,
1:50 pm
this is my new movie is tied to this as well. so i can contribute to the crime and that's how i solve this problem that came out fuse results as most sustain that 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 will occur on, sorry, has to take notes between bit by bit, the points where you wasted to search at the farm land. they decided to become polluted culture farm is at their own risk. i have yet to receive any special subsidies. the sky. yeah, this is the 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, one problem in the, or took the step to install this heat in prompt as a part of your project and how to you a prototype 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
1:51 pm
a cheese when he's buying a mess. heating plant is a common footprint is negative because burning across doesn't commit more c o 2. and it's still worth while growing, and the relation folk absorbs additional common sense of what central part of a lot of these and this is for the guy spies. myers said, it was always very generous with his knowledge of use of this 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, 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 departments with affordable hate, even amidst an energy crisis. in motion restoring a peat 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 seat lance off. so the
1:52 pm
climates, biologist, natalie 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 griffith is overseeing a ground breaking project on how flat to pray and people hands will decompose the climate change its samples have been very good 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 a carbon, does carbons been deposited over
1:53 pm
a thousands of years. and so it's really important understand what's going to happen under warming. and these really high carbon needs assistance. coca increases 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 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 clunk forming really increases the rate of the composition and the feet one. and so we absolutely turn the eco systems from things a carbon sources of carbon,
1:54 pm
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. 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 ecosystems behave now and into the future. and if we want to mitigate or limit the ability of our eco systems like plans to influence climate change, they need to start thinking about doing some things. now. the findings to raise the
1:55 pm
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 we're 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 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 ecosystems. the scientific evidence shows the pete 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 confidence as the world's far as
