Hi, I’m a wetland biologist in Florida, USA! I absolutely love what you guys are doing. With human development, Florida has seen a loss of wetlands that is pretty staggering. But we have a lot of wetland restoration projects from both the government and private companies. I hope that we can all learn to live in balance with the ecosystem one day!

I’m a Floridian, and I’ve seen a wetland that was recently restored/ expanded. It was connected to a larger body of water, so it was utilized by the landowner to make more wetland. The biodiversity increase I’ve noticed is amazing.

Projects like this should be sprouting up everywhere. They don't require new tech or permanent cost of upkeep. I believe offsetting 189 people's annual co2 footprint for 40k is amazing. Countries should invest money in that. It's easy, relatively cheap and does what is needed to buy us some much needed time.

@@MossyEarth Yes, we gutted the riparian ecosystem in the name of repatriating flood plains and estuaries all to the detriment of the salmon's river lifecycle. Here in the PNW, dams and estuaries are big on the list of removal / repatriation. It's fortunate that we like salmon, if they were slimy eels or something no one would care, but salmon are an incredibly healthy source of food and also an icon of environmental abundance. It's to this point that I'd address salmon farming as a substitute to utilizing already existing river water sheds and the ocean to feed and grow the fish. We look at salmon farming completely wrong. Trying to grow as many young smolts into sellable 'salmon' by feeding them cat food in net pens produces a much less nutrient dense animal. they're basically trash fish and the offshore net pen enclosures severely impact native fish and the environment. A better way to farm salmon is take it from a full watershed approach and rather than have a single mitigation hatchery down low on the waterway raising a few hundred thousand fish from egg to released smolt (again on cat food), take and distribute the fertilized eggs into the natal spawning grounds where you would like them to return. Inundate the watershed. (can you have too many returning salmon?) with complimentary species. (we have 8 here in the PNW that are anadromous) What's essential in getting large returns is that the fish themselves are the creators of spawning beds. In the PNW, we hear a lot about the timber company's logging roads silting in the river spawning beds. This is nonsense. Anyone whose seen a river in spring flood knows that that it's a chocolate mess of silt and water. a silted in spawning bed is a spawning bed that is not in use, period. What clears this mess up and prepares the bed to receive fertilized eggs is millions of pairs of salmon tails beating the riverbed that move the silt and 'not right sized pebbles' out of the way for spawning to take place. If your mitigation hatchery is on the lower river and you have a greatly beleaguered run of wilds, there's simply not enough of them to need to clear out more spawning ground up higher in the water shed. it's fascinating that biologists get the cause / effect on this one entirely backwards. It's not like they are not spawning because they can't find the place to do it. it's that the watershed as a whole lack the returning fish to force them into the higher reaches to find and dress out a place to spawn. If we treated salmon farming from the standpoint of minimal human intervention (spawn them and then get them into the natal spawning area you want to rear them in without sticking a wire up their nose or clipping off fins.) and looked at the entire watershed as the garden and not just the mitigation hatchery's cement enclosure ponds then we would really open our eyes to the true potential of salmon farming. So what if only 10% of these survive to return. You've introduced millions of fish into a riparian habitat system. Some of them will be food chain for birds, other salmonids etc. But enough of them will return. And continued complimentary efforts will absolutely supercharge the returning salmon population. you'd probably only need to artificially supplement for a few life cycles before you could move the entire operation to a new watershed That benefits everybody. From starving orcas, to native tribes, to commercial fishermen and recreational sports fishermen. An abundance of fish helps all. You wont get abundance by removing a dam and letting nature slowly repopulate the habitat. It may not happen in our lifetimes.

I live in NW Oregon and was born here in 1989. It's really crazy how dry it's been for the last handful of years. We used to get tons of rain or at least had bi-polar cloudy, temperate ecosystem type climate but lately it's been very different. It's been very dry and warmer most of the year. When it rains it feels like a lucky event that doesn't frequently happen. Which is vastly different than how it was most of my life. This is why I really want to reintroduce Beaver's back to the ecosystem, and where it is a good location I'd love for waterways to become back to their natural wetland areas that utilize way more of the water rather than our current situation that just let's water run out as fast as possible and not get utilized well. I hope Oregon does what you guys are doing in this video. (On a side note about things I wish we would do to improve our climate and amount of emissions we produce.) This is why we need to invest in modern advanced nuclear energy options. Small form reactors, LFTRs, Thorium Reactors, liquid reactors, with modern technology, engineering, material science, safety measures understandings and designs, computer technology, robotics, It will really allow any nation to be pretty much be energy independent. Less reliant on fossil fuels. They'll have efficient, stable electrical grids and the rest of the grid could experiment with alternative power sources, etc.

A great example of the Importance of Wetlands is shown if you look at the State of Minnesota. Minnesota is unique in that it retained most of its wetlands while the other inland states largely drained them. One of the Results was that Minnesota retained a large and healthy wildlife ecosystem, and remains the Great bastion of the North American Grey Wolves in the Lower 48.

Hi Rehné the CO2 numbers are only for CO2 not the net green house gas effect. I will quote a paper here: “Wetlands may therefore be regarded as a source for greenhouse gases and so increase radiative forcing if evaluated on a short time scale (decades), but as a sink for greenhouse gases and thus attenuating radiative forcing if evaluated over longer time scales (>100 years).” You can access it here www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0304377001001450. We do this primarily for the biodiversity and the long term ecosystem but I think this should have been mentioned in the video as it is an important omission. We will include it in the next videos in this series. Thank you for the great question! - Cheers, Duarte

yes wetlands emit lots of CO2 more than a city and more greenhouse emissions, also if the ecosystem is out of balance toxic algae can bloom and affect the wildlife near and also any habitant with the toxic gases, is hard to build one, we will take years to see the results, is a big commitment, kudos to them.

Hi Joaquim, I believe this is an insignificant amount of water compared to the flow of the danube which will eventually flow back into the danube 1km downstream. I think it can be viewed as more of a detour than a diversion of the course of the river. Also thank you for being our most active subscriber!

Love your work and ideas. I feel the purpose of us being left a world as it once was, was to see if we could make the garden given more. We failed, destroyed more than create. You’re creating what I have long imagined. The temperature where I live gets insane, and we don’t get enough rain. Yet we have the greatest amount of lang that could produce so much. Most of which we stopped to save creeks so the fish in those creeks don’t go extinct. Which I want to save to. But we then chopped hundreds of billons of dollars in food producing prime age trees to stop use of water. We have a near 50 year old infrastructure designed to provide to those farms and the few million who live in the region. Which grew by 20x since. Yet no upgrades or added systems to that infrastructure. Of which more water retention and aquifers should have been added but weren’t. That way the profits going to the few would be greater if they didn’t have to invest in increasing systems that should have been expanded. Simple things like going into the mountains and building mini damns stepping their way down those mountains to hold more of the rain longer to increase the water allowed to absorb replenishing what we use. Which would benefit the mountain eco systems abundantly. Something that nature use to do with creature building damns. Or some of the old topography once did till erosion wore the places down. But the plants and animals would thrive. The trees which are disappearing do to fires, lack of water and pests eating at them do to their condition causing them to die faster providing to the fires. Of which if we could save without waiting on rains. But people cry about stopping rivers from emptying into the sea which is far more fuller than it was last year and all the years prior. But people wine so nothing gets done. We have developed so many technologies to help with things not done on older dams to benefit wild life, so we can damn the hell out of earth and plant trees and have all the water for the natural lands to be watered by us as well as grow all the food we could ever need. But we don’t. I wish I was a billionaire I would do some of it myself. If my nation had less stupid in its leadership and more intelligence we could in our lifetimes see things do such a 180. But greed is killing the entire world now.

One question I ALWAYS have for any group that is out reforesting or planting new forests anywhere is this: Are you planting the full forest ecosystem, from the ground up through the canopy? Or just the mid-story and/or canopy trees? The part two that comes with this question I always have is are you using truly native species of trees and other plants (no hybrids either)? The reason for this two part question is that it is ESSENTIAL to the longevity and health of the ecosystem, and is how it all naturally grows and thrives, and that most organizations, people and groups DO NOT do that, and only plant trees or bushes (lower story and mid, upper or canopy levels of the forest).

It's really sad to see the devastating effects of trapping animals for fur and infrastructure. Most of North Americas in land wetlands have been lost due to lower populations of beaver. And I commonly see that happen where I live as logging companies trap beavers around where I live to make way for logging roads and prevent flooding, or they are trapped to drain out areas for development and from which I've seen many of the areas that used to be swamps turn into fields and slowly now growing trees which has had a huge impact on the brook trout fisheries, many amphibian species including salamanders, moose populations, and many migratory bird species as they live and breed in wetland ecosystems and in areas where beavers have been re introduced and protected the ecosystems seem to rebalance and many species populations will make a come back and in some areas helped reduced the risk of flooding in down stream areas

Beavers can be really beneficial for wetlands, and in Slovakia luckily there are still populations living there, including in the Danube floodplain forests. In the UK, where I'm based, we're starting to see more beaver reintroductions so hopefully we'll start to see improvements in biodiversity and flood prevention! - Cheers, Hannah
