🔎 ABOUT THIS PROJECT
===============================
Over recent decades, large swathes of Slovakia’s wetlands have been lost. They have been drained to make way for agriculture as a result of the construction of dams for hydroelectric power, as well as for timber production. Wetlands are an integral part of the Danube floodplain landscape in Slovakia and draining them to plant trees has detrimental impacts on the environment. Wetlands store large amounts of carbon and are home to a diversity of plant and animal species that are specially adapted to the wet conditions. One of these species is the nationally endangered and endemic Pannonian root vole, which has declined drastically in Slovakia in response to disappearing wetlands. This project will turn forest back into a wetland by digging 650 meters of ditches. This will kickstart a “flood” of change and bring back a healthy functioning, sustainable and wilder ecosystem.

is there any chance you do some Work in Switzerland or Austria? would like to help but can not travel far cause normal work...
This is really cool, and made me happy. It is easy to become cynical, everything can seem so doom and gloom, then I see shit like this and I go. "Yea, I think things will be okay."
That flooded forest is beautiful!
Oh sure, you flood a forest and receive praise. When I flooded my basement, my wife wouldn't talk to me for a month!

When I think of Mossy Earth, this is the project which comes to mind first. Its such an epic ecosystem, especially moody when it was raining. Great work all involved.
Agreed it is a project that really showcases what we are trying to achieve! - Cheers, Duarte
This is really the project that made me decide that they are worth donating to. It's absolutely astounding how much they've achieved with a pretty modest budget here!
Yeah epic!!!

We have this in Brazil. It’s called “Pantanal”. It’s the world's largest tropical wetland area, and the world's largest flooded forest.
Depending on the time of the year, it gets dry and then ready to be flooded again. It’s really rare and interesting!
I know, because it's a natural wonder in Civilization 6, lol.
Lol, i was going to say the same thing
Good for Brazil. Well done. But still you are allowing illegal cutting and burning in the Amazon on a huge scale and fucking up The worldwide climate as a result, not to mention killing hundreds of species.
Unfortunately will disappear cause Brazilians think soy crops have more value.

Lovely wprk.
@@MossyEarth how about a kayak? or a flat hull dinghy?
For the snake at the end of the video- I believe that is called “Stargazing syndrome” and it is a neurological disorder. It can happen due to a variety of different reasons for example a bacterial infection. Unfortunately there is not necessarily a treatment unless the cause can be found…As for that little wild guy, I hope he can recover out there.
Thank you for sharing! It sounds like a good candidate! - Cheers, Duarte
Seconding this. Stargazing can be caused by trauma, too--such as a heron trying to snag him for a meal, but only hitting his head with a glancing blow, or perhaps trauma from falling out of a tree. He probably doesn't have a good chance for recovery but he will make a great meal for another tier of the ecosystem, which in turn will provide meals for others, etc. Nature wastes nothing.
Great footage, showing that not everyone in an ecosystem has to be having a good day for the whole system to be healthy! Sometimes wildland activism videos trend towards being saccharine and overly 'clean' in how they present nature (clean based on western societal expectations) and it feels inauthentic. Plus then visitors feel ripped off when their experience in person doesn't match the edited, censored footage they watched in advance. It's so much better to show it all and include the random, messy and not always happy incidents that really happen in nature.
searched for a while for the answer just wanted to say thank you!!
Would have guessed a late stage parasitic infestation from eating a snail.
Looks like stargazing, if it wasn't rubbing against anything on purpose. Another possibility might be that it's about to shed. When they are ready to get rid of the old skin, snakes aggressively rub their head and neck on various coarse surfaces, trying to get the skin to begin peeling. This can look like the snake is in distress.
Watching the animals come back, hearing the birds and frogs, it makes my heart sing. I am so grateful for the work you’re doing to keep our planet as vibrantly alive as it was before industry and human activity began. Thank you thank you thank you. ❤
As someone who grew up In Bratislava and considers this ecosystem as part of my heritage I am incredibly thankful for the work you guys at Mossy Earth are doing to popularise the cause and helping BROZ in their uphill battle to save, rewild and repair at least partially the damage done to these wild floodplains by the damming of the Danube and other human activity.
Seeing this, having visited all those places, navigated those parts of Danube, having studied environment protection - all that makes me feel good about coming from Slovakia. Glad to be a little part of massive network. Your videos are all treat, these though are close to my hearth.
Thank you for this, these comments really make my day! - Cheers, Duarte
@@MossyEarth Tx for wholesome message.
Another fantastic video update. Well worth taking on the mosquitos.
Thanks Matt! - Cheers, Duarte
Might be worth it until they start spreading malaria again, which was largely eradicated from europe much thanks to draining marshlands like this. I wonder if this potential risk have been considered. The ammount of wild life is nice to see though.
Especially in china, they are destroying their environment at an astonishing rate and instead of fixing the problem they caused they are buying up land in other countries. And then doing the same thing.
Watching this fills my heart and makes me wanna cry. I'm so happy to be part of this work even if just indirectly, as a monthly contributor.
Great work, guys!
World needs more people like you. This is inspirational.
I’m a civil and ecosystem engineer in Louisiana. We do similar hydrologic restoration projects in the swamps. There are two so far, hoping for more because they are super cost effective here.
Like the Tabasco hot sauce in Avery Island recovering vegetation?
I'm guessing that it doesn't result in the death of as many trees as it does when applied in ecosystems with other types that are less tolerant of "wet feet." One of the downsides of many ecosystem videos is that the gains are accounted for but not the losses, the pros but not the cons.
Awesome!❤
I bet you need permits and permission to do so.
hey Benjamin, is there any way i can contact you to get to know about any of this projects? im a fellow civil engineer from Costa Rica and im extremely interested in this subject related to hydrologic restoration (CR is almost 100% hdyro) so this is very relevant
The audio made this video so incredible to watch. If that is thanks to Patrik then I hope you'll take him to more project sites in future!
It is thanks to Patrik who recorded the early Spring and also to Andrea from Broz who recorded the later Spring sounds with the frogs. - Cheers, Duarte
@@MossyEarth Will they be helping to document the Quarry project? I am looking forward to updates on that one too!
Well, to be honest, the ambience in this location was something I've never had a chance to record before. Such pristine, natural, and calming sounds made recording them an easy task. I could listen to the sound of rain and birds for hours. Thank you for the comment, and maybe you will hear my recordings in some future videos.
Patrik
ओे ो@@PatrikInNature As a blind person, I approve of this audio. It makes enjoyment of these videos much better. Good job.
I just found this channel and as an avid nature lover, having done as much as I could to protect our planet, this channel is the most inspired I've felt in my life. I wish you all God's speed in your work and I an eager to follow along!
This is a whole movie.. I'm so glad I watched this, because it gave me a whole new look on ecosystems, and the work people do to not only preserve them, but CREATE them. Much love man, and I can't wait to watch more!
Have you guys ever considered releasing ambiance videos or audio tracks in the locations you’re rehabilitating? An hour’s worth of footage and/or sound from various parts of the flooded forest would be absolutely incredible, barking deer aside
Especially The thunder in the background. Sounds wonderful.
!!!
This is a great idea. The sounds in this video were amazing.
up!!
isn’t it so sad we need to rely on prerecorded sound to experience the true songs of this earth? i think it’s sad.
wish more of these projects would be done all over europe and the world.
Hopefully rewilding picks up some momentum! - Cheers, Duarte
Does Europe have beavers naturally or is that just here in the US? Cause here those little guys do so much for the ecosystem more than any engineering phds ever could.
@@spagooter1807Of course we have beavers, Europe is huge and vast many countries are entirely different.
Slavic countries have many bears and beavers like in America when you get closer to the mountain regions and forests.
Most people that live with them dont like them because of the damage of property they bring. They flood entire roads till they look like lakes and leave fallen trees everywhere. Maybe they do good elsewhere but they are brutal here😅
It has begun❤ People are awakening.
@@thedraft115We have to learn to coexist ❤ Requires thought.
I'm super proud of you guys and a bit jealous as id love to be involved in such a inspirational project. Big thanks for your work from the UK 🙏
You guys are genuine heroes!
Thank you for sharing your efforts - soooo exciting !
I know also that wetlands are perfect as carbon sinker. I hope these kind of projects will be more and more common around the world
Hopefully people start seeing the benefit of having wetlands around. They are very important! - Cheers, Duarte
Wow, I can’t believe how alive the area sounds when the flood is in full effect. Between the frogs and the birds, it doesn’t even sound real! Great work!
It's nature's orchestra at it's finest! - Cheers, Duarte
This is fantastic! The whole world needs what you guys do. Thank you so much!
I had completly forgotten about this project, so glad to see the results and to see how vibrant with life it was. Keep doing the good work, this is why we were put on this earth
Love your work
The deep breath at the end says it all. The freshness, the accomplishments, the win for nature. Chapeau!
Glad that is how you interpreted it haha! I was thinking of how beautiful it was but also about how I was going to have to walk 30 minutes in the pouring rain to eat a sandwich in the car 😂 Thank you for the nice comment! - Cheers, Duarte
lmao I KNEW IT! I've done exactly the same sigh myself before, plenty of opportunities for sighing in the rain as a scout
You guys are true environment activists! Amazing work!
If you continue doing this and/or other sites, i would recommend you do a time lapse video showing people how your work changes the landscape over say 10 or 20 years. Good luck!
Those underwater shots were absolutely FANTASTIC thank you! Please consider taking more of them in the future update videos, they are absolutely beautiful!
Thank you! They were a tonne of work to make, so it’s nice to hear that they are appreciated. - Cheers, Duarte
Shout out to Adriana for filming at all with all of those mosquitos around her. Great project!
Exactly! She told me she had to hide those arms for a few weeks 😅 - Cheers, Duarte
Seriously! Wow, I'd have lost my mind no joke. She has nerves of steal. 💪💪
Great video and it really shows that you're doing good work. I'm glad you're now showing the results of your efforts by showing us the wildlife that has returned to the area.
I love this please share more videos of this project and others . It’s amazing how much there is to learn from projects like yours. Thank you for sharing.
planting willows is apart of them being very flood resistant also a great idea to protect all kinds of insects. There are so many species of insects that heavily depend on willows to survive, and in most commercial forests they are cut down because of their unusable soft wood - im so glad that projects like this give willows a place to thrive!
That’s true. Willows are indeed key for insects and especially the broken and coppiced ones you get in these floodplain forests. - Cheers, Duarte
Wow! I'm glad you guys always post updates on past projects! Hope there's more to come!
More and hopefully more frequent updates to come! - Cheers, Duarte
All of you are amazing! So much life you give.
Well done!
Huge respect you guys are helping the Earth and it‘s habitants.
This has to be one of my favorite projects so far! It's amazing to see how much life can be supported by flooding the forest.
The amphibian spawn at 6:47 seems to be a bit too wide for Bufotes viridis or Bufo bufo, it's probably from Pelobates fuscus instead.
Thank you for the tip! - Cheers, Duarte
Thank you for the opportunity to work with you again! 🤘It was definitely one of the most anticipated videos, as I couldn’t wait to see how the footage would turn out 🎬. And it was a really special experience to see the project location in person as well. The work that you do is nothing short of incredible.
Cheers,

Thank you for all the hard work Patrik! - Cheers, Duarte
Great work, Patrik! Thank you from all of us across the Atlantic, who will probably never get to visit these sites except through your lens.

This video actually moved me to tears, I'm so proud to support such a wonderful crew doing excellent projects such as this, at a time when the news always seems bad about climate and ecosystems.
Thank you for the kind words! It means a lot to me and the whole team to hear this :) - Cheers, Duarte
It was good to see so many of you fighting to protect the natural wonders of my homeland, the Csallóköz region, which the Slovak megalomania is still trying to destroy day by day. It is a great achievement that you have been able to achieve flooding in this corrupt system, because the floodplain is slowly becoming a holiday area where there is no place for water and nature. I hope that one day the right and left sides of the Danube land delta can be reunited!
All we can do is work to try to make a better future possible! You come from a beautiful place. I hope it will go in the right direction. - Cheers, Duarte
I am curious what Slovak megalomania are you thinking of
In this case, a hydropower system has been built on a plain, where several dams are needed to raise the water level. This cuts off the river from the branch system, the groundwater is lowered (other negative effects can be seen in the videos). All the water is manually controlled to flow down one of the longest rivers in Europe, which means that all the sediment is deposited at the dams and slowly accumulates in the reservoir, making it impossible to function in the long term. A bit crazy, no? Sure, it has its benefits, but overall it's not a good thing that it was built, but it had to be built....
These are the kind of people I admire the most. Those who dedicate their time and effort to quietly do something that really helps the planet. Not many people know what they do to give recognition and praise, some even call them "crazy" for "doing nonsense". But they still commit to their goal and make a real difference.
Great to see such enthusiastic young people doing good work
Love the updates on these projects, and by the way, Adriana is an absolute warrior! That's an insane amount of mosquitos!
😂 Exactly!
I worked a couple of years in Canada's Northwest Territories, an area of tundra with thousands of lakes. Part of the job entailed pollution abatement measurements of the water quality surrounding the mine sites (the mine was several kilometres from the mill site). I was wearing a heavy checked shirt (think lumberjack) which made counting mosquitoes a bit easier. On many occasions I calculated my total personal mosquito population to be in the thousands. It was impossible to work with any exposed skin.
Unless you were this one summer student who was working with the surveying team. He regularly took no anti-mosquito steps (no DEET, no mesh head cover, no long sleeves etc) but somehow remained largely ignored by the ravenous skeeters.
The old timers set me straight. No scented soaps, light coloured clothing, plenty of DEET (which frequently dissolved certain plastics found in many things you might be wearing) are the way to go, better yet, stay indoors.
The masochist in me wants to see an after pic of that arm. Good lord.
@@docostlerI’m a bit like that. We were visiting some relatives, and towards the evening when the mosquitos showed up in great numbers, I was untouched in a T-shirt while others couldn’t bear to be outside anymore with more protection.
@@AnotherDuck I have to admit there were rumblings of witchcraft about the guy! (jk)
I think we were overly disappointed that he had no secret method to share.
Well done you for your, I assume, genetic superiority.
By far my favourite project! The lost wetlands are so cool, reminds me of my childhood at my grandma’s.
Glad to hear you like it! - Cheers, Duarte
What a great video. So happy to see all this progress .... shout-out to videographer and youtuber collaborations...thank you guys for supporting Mossy Earth.

All of you did great job, keep continuing restoring the nature. Warm regard from the Tropical land..
I study at the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava and visited the wetlands around Istragov just before this summer during a rainy day. I cannot express how happy I am to see Dunajské Luhy get the attention they need. It is such a beautiful region that is sadly overshadowed by the Gabčíkovo-Nagymaros waterworks (even though they are a marvel of engineering).
Also as a land surveyor and geodesy student I can only dream of surveying such a beautiful piece of land.
Definitely looking forward to more videos.
The mosquitos were outlining the girl's veins, like a road map. Amazing but gross.
(My first TH-cam comment ever...I think) This is just awesome! To see and hear how alive it is, is completely magical. Thank you for the work you do for our planet and those beings that can't protect themselves and thank you for sharing this journey with us!

Consider rewatching the videos a month after release and liking All of the comments that you approve of in order to keep the video relevant in the algorithms. 😁 We can all help that way to send TH-cam revenue to the channel. 😊
Can you flood an abandoned city next to see how much more insane it can get? Ideas include dam-related breaches. It'll be really amazing.
I would love an hour long ambience of the flooded forest. I don't live anywhere near there, and a plane ticket would be so wildly expensive, but hearing that was absolutely amazing. I would love more. The frogs, the birds, the rain. Heck, even the barking deer!
A normal ambience video would never get the beauty of the places you guys get to, so an ambience video from you would be amazing.

Great video and amzing shots. Well done to everyone involved!
it's videos like this I never want to end as I am watching them... the sounds in that wetland were insane post flood!!
I’m suprised it isn’t a tourist attraction to watch the water go down the stream every spring, sounds like it would be a fun thing to watch
I can promise you its super hard to time it haha
We have a lot of similar ecosystems here in central NY state. We're literally surrounded by streams, rivers, lakes, swamps, and various other waterways. A lot of changes in elevation and absolutely covered in forests. This reminds me of when I was a kid and we'd go out exploring and trying to find where some creeks and streams started.
Your mics are so good, you could make better relaxation videos than almost anyone on youtube.
Your REAL forest sounds, your REAL rain sounds. You should consider creating a branch series thats just a continuous recording of locations in your forest with mics during various weather. It would take next to no effort, and youd hit an enormous market of what seems like pretty nice people who would be interested in your content.
This is so beautiful. I loved hearing all the birds and frogs. Seeing so many hatched tadpoles was incredible. It makes me feel better, knowing that people like you are making a real difference.
That tadpole shot was great! I wish I could have been there with my underwater setup to film it properly. Siggi got that shot by sticking his phone in the water haha - Cheers, Duarte
