I think it's terribly important to talk about the flood-mitigating aspect like you did here. So often, people get it in their heads that restoration or conservation is completely about humans taking a loss in some way so that other life forms (whom they generally deem lesser than humans) can gain something. But while that may look true at the zoomed-in level, zooming out shows that we can all gain benefits from trying to create this balance! Other places were not flooded because the water had somewhere to go, and the flora and fauna who live in that place benefited from receiving that water. If every place that deals with dangerous flooding tried something like this, who knows what kind of benefits we might see!
@JumpingSpider37Ай бұрын
Excellent point. Not to mention that modifying the land to accommodate our own needs can be both financially costly, and ultimately risky. Here in California, Tulare lake was a massive body of water that through massive water direction projects was converted into farmland. In the recent heavy rain and snow this past winter, hundreds of acres of homes and farms suddenly became a lake again. I wonder what damage could have been avoided if we had just refrained from meddling.

Furthermore such a Floodplain forest has a huge impact on the local humidity. As research showed in Finnland it increases the humidity to above 100km away and keeps it on a stable level. Furthermore thanks to the increased humidity plant growth is increased around it, causing even more humidity to be in the air. On top it causes more rain, mist, etc. and high temperatures, heatwaves, draughts, heavy down pour, ... are much less likely. So in other words the land get's much more fertile and liveable!!

98% of trees replanted from green energy credit companies end up dying because they don’t pay people to do oversight they just take Apples money and say it’s green now. This is what proper conservation looks like and you should understand the current measures to reforest are a complete joke usually unless they are paying people to look at them after the fact which they usually don’t. Lmao I do not sleep soundly at night knowing the vast majority of the green credit initiative is a scam. You’ve got a bunch of money changing hands in a cutthroat corporate environment just so that they can lie about minimizing their impacts with little to no oversight I think this is great but the environment is screwed anyway we must enjoy it while it lasts. It’s crazy more people don’t know about what the green initiative has done it’s practically destroyed us because most people just turn their head and say sounds good when they hear Apple is a zero emission company not knowing they bought Amazonian land that wasn’t going to be chopped down anyway due to terrain and then called all of that carbon on an inaccessible mountain saved to claim their iPhones business model is safe even if it literally didn’t put a dent in the amount of rainforest cut down. If we do not actually legislate this we will let them find loopholes till it kills us all. As a realist and a pessimist the only conclusion I can draw is that humanity is unable to solve climate change for the same reasons people get locked into debt traps. Even if we all came together for that common goal are we going to go to war because China ignored the carbon limits to protect their economy or bomb those poor people that try to chop down the Amazon to feed their kids and don’t even get me started on convincing Americans to give up tights like driving.

After hearing the story about how this project absorbed much of the flood water, does that mean this project potentially saved some people's lives, or at least prevented a lot of destruction? That's one heck of a selling point you could give politicians in areas prone to flooding greatly increasing the rate of flood land restoration.
@ScheveSneeuwSchuifSchepАй бұрын
The Mossy Earth area is probably too small to prevent regional flooding of inhabited/human occupied lands on its own but when natural floodplains around rivers are restored on a later scale they definitely can and do prevent floods. Thing is, rivers naturally vary in their width throughout the year(s) but we humans liked to settle close by the rivers because it meant access to water and therefore also to transportation. Additionally, the soil surrounding rivers is often very fertile making it suitable for farming.

I always wonder where the little fish disappear to when it's all dry. Where do they go?

This is such an amazing transformation and proof that we can help the environment to push back invasive species and rejuvenate the world, not only destroy. Amazing job!

Proud to be a member, thank you for this amazing update! Very good lesson there at the end of the amazing benefit these ecosystems have on the lives of people. I hope many more countries reach out to start their own projects along flood plains like this.

All that plant growth made me wonder: Have there been any larger herbivores showing up? Deer etc? Plenty of food! But maybe they don't like it when it's flooded?

Plenty of deer and boar around. Hard to film but we got some on camera trap / with hides last year. Be sure to check out last years video! - Cheers, Duarte

This is solarpunk in heart. Tear down the barriers, let the spring floods flow, talk about toad and newt egg clutches as art. Also really interesting for the Americans watching, if you follow the part where he is talking about invasives and natives in the report, the two invasives he mentioned are natives in North America, Giant Goldenrod and Panicled Aster, and one of the natives that was increasing for him, Giant Reed, is a major and very bad invasive in North America. Really shows you how invasive is not a universal measure, and how invasive plants that take advantage of human commercial disturbance are destroyed when you return natural regimes of flooding (or burning or grazing, etc.)
