These conservationists want to save the more land near give horne in northern germany their most important work right now is up rooting young trees from areas that are too dry andre data of the nature and Biodiversity Conservation union has been working here for many years and leads the restoration project. Were removing trees to keep their moral and because its so dry the trees will otherwise keep growing and create a forest. Up rooting the trees also helps protect the climate the more land stores considerably more carbon than forests. Too many trees would dry out the more and slowly destroy it. 98 percent of the more lands in germany have already been destroyed through peat harvesting logging agriculture.

Indonesia and Southeast Asia theres a rep a deterioration being converted into Palm Oil Plantations under. Peat has been harvested here for 200 years today its mainly used as potting soil. Andre data and doris planter of nabu are hoping to restore more lands currently being used for industrial purposes. They. Need in order for the peak to develop and peat moss is the most important plant when it comes to replenishing the moylans one that if you as peat is removed barren areas being created it could be replanted so were trying to grow as much peat moss as possible so that we can plant it on those narrow areas. Brought up the ball that will help the more lens to recover. To grow peat moss on a large scale water needs to be returned to the more land 1st. To soak the area we release the water and theres a board here and when we remove it the water flows through and fills the area. Could be divided.

A 6 yard wonder Government Hand in sync with gold and silver thread but how do we bring the standing in to a dying art as we was increasingly done to mechanized that turn out large quantities of synthetic and. Now some indian designers have stepped in to save the iconic sorry and keep the craft alive. But. To wash away the sins in that if a gun got some to die and be committed.
