toMOORow

Wet peatlands for a sustainable future 

Wet peatlands make a significant contribution to climate protection and preserve unique plant and animal species. At the same time, they can be managed in an environmentally friendly manner. The aim of the initiative with the pioneering name "toMOORow" is to use these diverse properties of peatlands for environmental protection and nature protection, but also for the economy. 

toMOORow has set itself the goal of creating new, near-natural peatland habitats through rewetting. The initiative thus contributes to the implementation of the Paris Climate Protection Agreement, because drained peatlands release large amounts of CO2. toMOORow will dovetail the outreach and influence of the Michael Otto Environmental Foundation with the peatland-related networks and expertise of the Succow Foundation as a partner in the Greifswald Mire Centre in order to - together with many other partners such as the Otto Group company - raise peatland climate and nature conservation as well as the sustainable use of peatlands in Germany and the EU to a new level of implementation speed and social support.
