New bogs in Belarus
Drained marshlands pose a huge risk to the climate because they release vast amounts of carbon dioxide stored in the ground. The problem is especially serious in Belarus. Now, one project in the country is aiming to restore the marshlands through flooding and thus cut emissions. It's hoped to become a model for protecting marshes all over Europe.
