They are inconspicuous, quiet - and yet indispensable: peatlands are among the most effective climate protectors on earth. In his inspiring presentation \u201eSilent heroes - the role of peatlands in climate change\u201c, Alexander Kornelsen, founder of the non-profit organisation Mission to Marsh, explains at Future Resources 2025 in Cologne why intact wetlands are one of the greatest natural opportunities in the fight against global warming.<\/p>\n

Kornelsen impressively describes how moors have acted as water reservoirs, filters and carbon sinks for thousands of years - and why their destruction has fatal consequences. According to Kornelsen, drained peatlands are responsible for around 7.5 per cent of CO\u2082 emissions in Germany - more than all the air traffic within Germany. But while reforestation takes decades, moorland protection can be realised in just a few years: Rewetted areas stop CO\u2082 emissions immediately.<\/p>\n

Using concrete examples, Kornelsen shows how renaturalisation works in practice: from workshops with companies such as Interzero, which are actively involved in moorland protection, to innovative concepts of so-called paludiculture - i.e. agricultural use without drainage. New packaging concepts are even being developed, such as cardboard packaging made from bog plant fibres, as is currently being tested by the Otto Group and OBI.<\/p>

Kornelsen combines scientific knowledge with personal enthusiasm. His message: marsh conservation is feasible - immediately, measurably and collectively. If you want to find out more, you can watch the award-winning documentary \u201eMission to Marsh\u201c on Kino on Demand.<\/p>\n
