THIS!!!!! That flooded forest video is what got me to become a member instantly. You're nailed it right on the head when you said that this is the type of projects that we like to see and fund! As far as donating money to a good cause goes, this is incredible bang for buck! Thanks for your hard work, and I'm looking forward to your future videos!

How can you help East Palestine and the rest of Ohio with this train derailment chemical spill? I'm 197 miles away and it's pretty scary ... how can we fix it ?! I'm @ a loss and the people who are " cleaning" it are actually making it worse I'm afraid.

Can you show us the flooding

Wonderful, tell me, have you figured out how to make a perpetual growth consumption driven top down anti democratic global socioeconomic system that must double its consumption of energy and resources over every 33yr period to stave off its collapse, compatible with the immutable physics governing a finite world? When you are able to alter the laws of reality to what capitalism demands then your river project will be worth something in perpetuity, till then, its a noble effort for sure but still only a temporary one in the end as someone born as I type this is going to find out along with much of the complex life on the surface of this world as they get hammered by ever increasing temperatures as we are now warming at twice the rate we were just a decade ago, last year Europe experienced its worst droughts on record and that was under la nina, El nino is coming, and each one will be worse than the last. In case you think I am exaggerating with that rate of consumption, here is your proof: Between 1750, the beginning of industrialised capitalism and 1980 we lofted 750 billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere. Then in just 40 years from 1980 to 2020, we DOUBLED IT, to 1.5 trillion tons, what it took us 230 years to loft was doubled over the next 40, and we are on course to double that again by 2060. Due to the rate of doubling in consumption global capitalism demands in order to satisfy return on investment and keep a long term global avg gdp growth rate of 3% to stave off recessions or worse, capitalism had us blow past safe ecological limits by 1990 and safe climatological limits by 1998. As for renewables? do the math with me, electric generation = only 30% of global emissions and of that only 35% comes from renewables and only about 12% of that is wind and solar, so, 12% of 35% over 40 years, = pissing in the wind compared to where humanity should have been by now if it was to have a hope in hell of adhering to what immutable physics demands of humanity to have a viable future on this finite world, wetlands or not. Planting tree's? not gonna help either, the carbon is already above ground, those tree's will die and rot and they will die a lot sooner than under natural causes due to temperature spikes and beetle and virus encroachment from warmer winters. I say all this not to say such projects as yours should not be done, they absolutely should and I applaud your efforts and your want to do some good for this world, but I say it to make sure you are fully systemically aware that unless what you do also comes bolted to demands for an end to capitalism on this world with inroads to that having been made by 2030 including noting that in such videos, then your project will fail after you are grey or departed, along with the majority of the human race and most species on this earth, what of them still remain that is given 70% of animal species and 50% of the planets phytoplankton that produces 80% of our oxygen supply has already been killed off within the last 70 years alone. The other reason is because I doubt I will be here in ten years, if I am lucky I may scratch 20 but many of them will not be good. I would very much like this world to be on a path to being better to those coming after me than it has been to me and my own, but under capitalism, there is no road to a better world no matter how much tech is thrown at it, due to the immutable physics that dictate our realities on this earth. All I can do in effort towards that is put fourth the critique as I do to as many decent knowledgeable young minds as I can, like yours. Best wishes. And have a wonderful life.

I love what you do! is there any organization you know off, that can stop any building development plans in cities so that killing in-city nature will stop? I live in Poland, Silesia, and we had a lot of nature around and currently we are left with almost nothing......... and except complaining we canot do much about it. So is there any1 outthere who can stop nature -killing and force city officials to return nature to nature?

YES

Make it happen

I want to see this

Yes please! Will be keeping an eye out for the vid 👍

Same! Loads of places across ireland that really badly need reforesting/rewilding

Thank you Patrik! - Cheers, Duarte

Awsome work! Do you work together with neighbor farmers and locales?...They are the one carry on when you leave the side

Ha! I wondered whether we would get someone who saw their comment. Cool stuff! Glad you are happy with our work and its an honour to have you as a member! We will do our best to deliver on the rewilding impact and keep improving the comms :) - Cheers, Duarte

Glad you enjoyed them! They are quite a bit of work to edit but we think they are very useful to explain things properly to our viewers. All credit to Tom Hikin, our motion graphics man for that graphic you mentioned. - Cheers, Duarte

Exactly! Flooding is a very important natural process that can actually help us avoid the terrible floods which sweep away houses and such. - Cheers, Duarte

I thought the Harpeth was free flowing now days. Do you recall where they put a dam(s) in?

Definitely a good place for a team meet-up! Especially if everything is flooding :D - Cheers, Duarte

Its just one of many projects. We hope it can be one of those that helps make things right in the long term. - Cheers, Duarte

I spend quite a bit of time in Denmark and have found few opportunities here. What is the name of the organisation? - Cheers, Duarte

Right up to the moment that my Danish relatives have to eat imported food. Denmark is one of the most productive food producers per capita, in the world. A minor “retirement” in agricultural land has a disproportionally larger impact on production.

@MossyEarth sorry wrote a long reply , got deleted apparently its called n a t u r f o n d e n .

@larrysorenson4789 the organization I support is like restoring nature that needs help. It's not they buy up corn fields and start a Forrest. Latest they bought up 25 hectares of wet land they will restore in corporations with the county. I'm personally for animal welfare and the Danish farmers export $25 billions worth of pigs meat but still almost 25 % all pigs born die in the stables. Statistics say like 30.000 piglets die each day year round, that is completely insanity if you ask me. The farmers and government promises 8 years ago it would get better, but it has gone even worse numbers show. There is lot of cruelty in modern animal farming, I would have no problems with more farmland being converted to nature. Danmark need people in other industries, so wouldn't be a problem.

@@larsstougaard7097 went online to look up some pig statistics here. The numbers are 16 to 20% deaths. The three causes most prevalent are listed as stillborn (1in 10), crushing (momma rolls over) and starvation (prevented access to teat by other piglets in the first seven days). On an industrial scale nurturing each piglet is an impossible challenge. Were the newborns immediately removed to a safer post birth environment the crushing and mal nutrition can be avoided. Stillborn requires medical research but one article said there just was not enough room in there and so some die. If through simple husbandry the pig supply can be increased by ten percent, that industry will thrive. Lastly, the Chinese are buying up the American food production industry. I don’t think that Denmark allows this to occur. My Great, Great Grandfather was from Halles. We have close relatives in Dragor.

Exactly. I was wondering how the land was acquired.

The land is privately owned by BROZ. I think the landowners were happy to sell the needed bits as they also want to see some nature back. - Cheers, Duarte

​@@MossyEarthGives them a nice improvement in ground water and soil I suspect.

Its a win win :)

Exactly! There are so many other problems to solve than just carbon in the atmosphere. Biodiversity is fragile and needs help. - Cheers, Duarte

Thank you for the kind words Splint! - Cheers, Duarte

Thanks Gio! We are doing our best here. Ultimately all we want is to get people together to do some very impactful projects. Having good communication and feedback is crucial for this! - Cheers, Duarte

Thank you Kimberley! - Cheers, Duarte

Thank you Bamboo! - Cheers, Duarte

Thank you for the kind words Alta! - Cheers, Duarte

Thanks Paul! Glad you enjoyed it! - Cheers, Duarte

Are you by any chance studying at Wageningen University? Because im also following a restoration ecology course there hehe

Amazing! Good luck with the project! - Cheers, Duarte

They are the most amazing partners :) Keep an eye out for an update this spring! - Cheers, Duarte

@@MossyEarth I'm planning to move to Slovakia, maybe i will volunteer in their organization

You should!

Thank you JJ! We are also excited for the future :) - Cheers, Duarte

Thank you Duke! - Cheers, Duarte

Thanks Peter! Appreciate the feedback :D - Cheers, Duarte

Indeed! - Cheers, Duarte

Hi Alex, let me answer your questions. The flooded filed as well as the parcels where the channel will be dug is owned by BROZ. The area in question that will be flooded used to be a part of an old side arm of the river Danube (a long time ago), therefore the elevation is lower than the surroundings. The amount of water that is let into the wetland can be manipulated using gates that are built upstream on the brook - that's how we ensure that no one else's fields are flooded. Hope this answers your questions! (Adriana - Mossy Earth)

Should be coming sometime this Spring! - Cheers, Duarte

Mossy Earth hahah :) Really appreciate the thought though. :) - Cheers, Duarte

Thanks! - Cheers, Duarte

We look forward to do something in the US soon. - Cheers, Duarte

Do you know which projects? I'd like to follow along

Thank you Wuud! - Cheers, Duarte

South- west part of Slovakia, Danube region.

Nice one! I hope you will be very successful! - Cheers, Duarte

Thanks Dragoonzen - Cheers, Duarte

Hi, the same group did a nice video on a restoration site in Portugal: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJuoi7Vo2L-mg5c.html&ab_channel=MossyEarth Best, Claude

@@clauderispe8390 I missed that video, thanks! Hope one day help might come for the park near my village. We've planted some trees and cleared invasives, but I never thought of flooding it :)
