We are rewilding a quarry - here’s why

Video Description

We've been given a chance by our friends at Rewilding Portugal to help restore an old quarry and help transform it into a thriving wetland sanctuary. This is a project that will have many stories to tell as it is one of those very interesting examples of how we can accelerate rewilding. 🌲 If you think this project is worth supporting then be sure to check out the Mossy Earth Membership: https://mossy.earth 🙌 Subscribe to Mossy Earth: https://www.youtube.com/c/MossyEarth?sub_confirmation=1 START REWILDING OUR PLANET TODAY =============================== With us, you will restore nature and fight climate change every month 🌲 Plant native trees to capture carbon 🐺 Rewild habitats to support biodiversity 🦫 Support underfunded species and ecosystems Learn more and become a member here: https://mossy.earth 💪 OUR PARTNERS IN THIS VIDEO =============================== Rewilding Portugal: https://rewilding-portugal.com/ ⏱️TIMESTAMPS⏱️ 0:00 Intro 02:17 The mine 04:38 A unique wetland 06:24 Our project 🔎 ABOUT THIS PROJECT =============================== Paul de Toirões is an important area for landscape connectivity in northwest Portugal where nature is recovering from years of mining. The 300-hectare property boasts one of the largest water surface areas in the Greater Côa Valley, consisting of lagoons, canals, and ponds. Its diverse range of environments are connected by seasonal flooding which supports a variety of wildlife and vegetation. In an area managed by our partners, Rewilding Portugal, this project presents an excellent opportunity to expand its habitats and establish a stronghold for wilderness in the region. Starting with our first intervention, we aim to enlarge and diversify the habitats through earthworks. Read more here: https://mossy.earth/projects/rewilding-a-former-mine
