Hydrologist Wiebe Borren: “CO2 from high moorland is a climate bomb when it gets dry.”

Natuurmonumenten does everything it can to keep the high moors in the Witte Veen wet. “When it dries out, a lot of CO2 is released,” explains hydrologist Wiebe Borren. “That is why we remove trees and fill in ditches. For nature and to retain the CO2.”
