I grew up on a ranch and was told by all the older actors that are running stream will purify itself every 300 feet while blowing over gravel

That was ranchers Not actors

Thanks I am in.

If your blaming "man made" climate change for this cause, then your organization is just another woke out-shoot of the far left, who's activist trouble makers have been involved in many countries around the world and we have all had a gut full of your alarmist lies.

There is another solution you should be able to implement easily. You said the water had warmed up significantly. Plant trees to shade the water. Quick growing pioneer species like willow and birch for the short term and beech oak ash and pine for the long term. Of course plant on the south bank where the river runs east or west, and on both banks where the river runs north or south. It is quite likely that the water temperature had risen because of deforestation along a large section of the river. Rivers and streams are healthier when they are shaded by trees. And there is the benefit that trees make the banks less prone to erosion.

Thanks! 🙏

While there are shady charities, depending on the cause, paying salaries can be the most impactful way to create change 🤷‍♀️ especially when that change requires a lot of labor

Uh, you can't read: It says of what it does NOT spend on payroll: 91% gets to be voted on and distributed.... Suggest learning how to READ. Good Grief.

@@w8stral From what I understand, they're comparing Planet Wild's fund distribution to other charities' fund distribution. They are saying that *other* charities are the ones who spend more on payroll, and that they are glad that Planet Wild spends it mostly on actually providing to the environment.

Sigh: Learn how to listen to what THEY said. IF 99% of funds goes to payroll, the remainder gets to be voted on for distribution at a 91% rate.. 91% of 1 % could be literally NOTHING. It is lawyer speak Bull Shit. Unless they say the exact PERCENTAGE of donated funds to be distributed to NON payrolled entities, you know nothing. @@halcyon3622

It is very frustrating indeed! With Planet Wild we chose to focus on those areas where we have the power to act rather than those where we are powerless. 💪

Abolish capitalism and install communism

It's almost like politicians and governments are the worst at solving problems

​@@austinedeclan10I agree

@@austinedeclan10 That's not true. It's just that there are many different problems to solve and the solutions for one problem become the cause of another. Not to mention that the people the politicians and governments represent all want different things. Most people simply won't tolerate putting nature over the economy, no matter how many species are at risk. Why spend taxes on fish and plants when there are orphans that need homes and sick people who need medicine? You can only spend money once, and it's hard to justify spending on something like rewilding when there is an infinite number of humans crying for their needs to be met first.

If they manage crises the same way they manage the Deutsche Bahn, we are doomed!! 🙈

In all aspects? Really ?

Most of the areas upstream, where the pollution originates are located in Poland anyway. Germany can't do that much, except increasing quality of the habitat in our administratrive borders. If we are to vocal about it, the Polish government will complain about "German imperialism", will demand reparations for WW2 and generally behave shitty about it. You can not work in a good manner with the Polish government, because it is a extreme nationalistic right wing government right now and its favourite enemy and scapegoat for anything is Germany. Only the Polish people themselves can change that.

That is why dams exist.

Huh, imagine that..

Thanks for your feedback! Often the solutions can be quite simple, but it's not so easy to implement them. Thanks for supporting this and other missions - none of this would be possible without the support of our community 🙏

it has been observed with dam removals as well, they are only now starting to realise that simply removing a dam does not restore the environment, sediments need to distributed back in their places as well

yep simple stone and landscaping can do a lot for the aquatic ecosystem

A river near where I grew up is entirely gravel, and its the cleanest river I have ever seen. It is also the main filter point for a large underground aquafer that forms naturally, and provides the water for the whole city, so it's very important for everyone.

That's sad. They should be held responsible for the damage and become a pioneer for more sustainable practices.

"Get away with" sounds a lot different than "persuade politicians that keeping their country's economy functioning is very important to their chances of being elected." Environmentalists never seem to have any interest in balancing economic concerns with their own. It's always an oppositional relationship: us vs them. If you live in Poland, then you benefit immensely from having this company remain profitable. They also have such an interest because their shareholders like long-term gains as well. So find a way to work with the company. It sounds like Planet Wild found a solution that worked. Frankly, they should have done a small study, then asked the company to fund the rest of the effort. It's almost certain they would have done that to try and improve their public image. And they likely would also have talked to their engineers to try and find out if they can do something about the salt in the run-off that originally caused the algal bloom. The environmental movement has got to figure out how to make peace and partnership with industry, because ultimately, people like the prosperity that comes from companies like these. Destroy their lives and they'll hate you, just like people hate Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil.

@@kma3647 The Planet Wild project was not on the Oder river or its tributaries in Silesia. They were working on a different river on the coast hundreds of kilometers away from the mining site. KGHM denies any culpability, I'm not sure why you think they would cooperate with environmentalists. The Polish government has covered up for them, that's a big scandal in itself. They denied anything unusual had happened, and it was only reported when it reached Germany downstream in Frankfurt (Oder). Prosperity is a nice thing, but a country which poison its rivers is not prosperous.

@@kma3647There is your answer,people are inable to think logically that’s why.

@@kma3647 Good luck with that message on this channel. Although the channel itself does seem rather sensible from this video. Before he became famous/wierd Jordan Petersen was working for the UN, studying the 'psychology of the people' in the West, in order to understand what those people were prepared to sacrifice to reduce energy usage and thus FC outputs. After some years he produced his report and summarised it thus: "Not one dam* thing." The evidence that he was right is in: "We'll be very lucky if even a temperature rise of 2.5℃ is avoided."

🙏

When will you Germans pay reparations for the centuries of genocide and destruction you've done to your neighbors? @@planet-wild

Good point. This happens in Eastern Europe all the times, guess what? They never find the ones who responsible for it. If they wait for the guiltys the river will never be healthy again.

just charge a cleaning fee to everybody

​@@GP-qn5sxits a good idea, but not possible in such a corupted situation, there are many privet investigations about who polluted Oder river and we know who did it, but our goverment wont do anything about it cuz its thier friends and "in raports everything is okay:

And then go to jail.

Yes, alteration of water flow patterns, loss of essential vegetation and in general disruption of the natural habitat - these are only a few consequences of channelization.

In the USA, and the Russian River Watershed north of San Francisco CA, similar effects of channelization by the US Army Corps of Engineers can be seen, though fortunately without the mining impacts.

Not very Godly are they

@@kenneth9874 they NEVER are

@@SMDoktorPepper that particular denomination perhaps, some of their sewage ran through their buildings would be justified

Used to be the standard

Bible thumping hypocrites,don’t they know that their God supposedly made that creek🤬

Yes, we forget way too often, that everything is interconnected in nature.♻

@@planet-wild Yes. That’s my question. Where does the gravel come from? I worry that every time we try to fix something we damage something else. Like clearing habitat for solar or wind farms.

@@marymarlow3646 That's a very good question, and one of our goals was to make sure that there are no negative side effects of our work. The preparations for this rewilding work were really thorough, with several institutions and supervising bodies involved. They made sure that the gravel is sourced from the local area, it has the right size and there are no negative side effects.

Eastern Europe problems still working way through the system

The economic power of the mining industry is common throughout the world. Unfortunately, the damage is as well.

Thanks for your support! And love your perspective on throwing the stones!😆

Absolutely!

Thanks for your feedback! We are happy to hear that you liked this mission and could learn something new ☺

Thanks so much for your encouragement! Feel free to share this mission video with anyone who might be interested to see it - this would be a great help! 🙏

I can tell you why not. They are treating symptoms with a band aid instead of focusing on the source which is the entire watershed. When the watershed is healthy, the river will produce (expose) its gravels and other habitat elements. Placing gravel is not a long term fix. On the other hand, it can work if you are only concerned about fish spawning this year.

You've put this nicely! 💚 Indeed nature is AMAZING! 💚🌲🌊

Nature is self healing.

Problem is that most of the damage is legal but unethical. Environmental standards will be raised but on the meantime Poland is not going to shut down polish jobs

Yes! A "fee" isn't enough of a punishment when they can just pay it and keep dumping. There needs to be jailtime for the one in charge, or a repossession of the business. (I say take over the business instead of shutting it down so the folks lower on the ladder can keep thier jobs)

Playing with erosion and beaver dam alanogues to restore a river with a too deep insscission. Its a cost effective method if the actors has more time than money and depending on the restoration goal. kzfaq.info/sun/PLI730hiY77co5eWz_XqJOWmTOM7_BSAQg

A webinar from Sage Grouse Initiative in the US. This is to use beaver dam analogues to restore a riparian zone, so the rivers water start to fill a lot wider zone along the river and make the zone act like a sponge instead of a drain. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m8uelLZn0dWZZ2w.html

This is on the importance of deadwood and hiding places in the streams for smaller fish. Deadwood prowide surface area for algae as gravel, and physical hiding places for smaller fish, esp if also combined with pools so the water is slowed down. The more alge the more of the animals that live of them, and the more biomass the stream can sustain. So combining large surface area and oxegynations is key. The pools allow time for the water to be cleansed and sediment to wash out, so gravel beds downstream is not filled in sediment. The bigger the wet area of ground in a stream, the more life it can support. Beawer dams support large amounts of other life, as the widen this area, and that why they are a key stone spieces. The logs across the stream also act as a bridge for small mammals etc. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iL-kl66U3tyXh30.html

In fact, not any gravel does the job. An important prerequisite for the correct working of the gravel piles is the use of gravel and natural stones that are not broken or crushed. In case of our projects, the local team has a certain set of good practices, which were developed in collaboration with environmental experts and water administration, to make sure that the gravel has the desired effect.

@@planet-wild ahh! Thank you. I had noticed the stones you were using were very different to the road gravel we have. It is beyond frustrating that even strict zoning laws don't really matter to some, just a game to see how they much they can get away with. Wishing you the best with your projects. I have had success in other parts of the farm, and is very worthwhile.

Thanks so much! 🙏

Thanks! ☺️

We are happy to hear that our missions give you hope! We think it's important not to give up and to act - do what we can, one mission at a time.

Thanks a bunch for the support and appreciating our efforts! 💙🌊

Fantastic question! 🙌 The local team developed a certain set of good practices, in collaboration with scientists, design offices, water and environmental administrations. An important prerequisite for the correct working of the pile is the use of gravel and natural stones, not broken or crushed stones. When selecting the location of the material, we try to use stone from the surrounding area - gravel mines in the region. In the case of small stockpiles, we use stone and gravel from farmers who have significant amounts harvested from their fields.
