After 2 years of planning we finally diverted a small river into an agricultural field and the results were immediately very interesting! 🌾 To support our work you can become a member here: https://mossy.earth MOSSY EARTH MEMBERSHIP ================================ The rewilding membership that restores nature across a wide range of ecosystems. 🌲 Support a diversity of ecosystems 🐺 Rewild habitats to bring back biodiversity 🦫 Fund neglected species & ecosystems Learn more and become a member here: https://mossy.earth 💪 OUR PARTNERS IN THIS VIDEO =============================== BROZ: https://broz.sk/en/ 📝 Field notes channel - https://www.youtube.com/@MossyEarth-FieldNotes ⏱️TIMESTAMPS⏱️ =============================== 0:00 Intro 1:10 Digging 1:40 New channel tour 4:15 Finishing the channel 5:22 Checking out the wetland 🔎 ABOUT THIS PROJECT =============================== Healthy wetland habitats are one of the most vibrant ecosystems for biodiversity in Europe. Flora and fauna can flourish when free flowing water meanders through the land creating wetland conditions along its path. The Čiliz Brook is a stream in southwest Slovakia trying to do this, but comes up against several problems as it winds through an agricultural maze. The stream has been altered, polluted and blocked. With our partners and specialists in wetland restoration, BROZ, we plan to unclog this ‘artery’ and supply much needed water to dry lands. This will flood a small forest and a field to create amphibian ponds and transform an area into a rare wetland habitat - wet sedge meadows.
