A project in Brandenburg, Germany is educating both adults and children about the local peatland ecosystem and how it contributes to the preservation of biodiversity.
Peatlands protect against flooding and they also withhold harmful substances, thus producing clean drinking water. In addition, they are particularly important for the climate, as they absorb and store several greenhouse gas emissions.
A series of events were organised, such as ‘peatland days’ for school and kindergarten groups, holiday camps for young people, family weekends, bicycle tours and exhibitions.
