Photoreport: Volunteers Look After Wetland Ecosystems In Breclav
The municipality of Breclav, South Moravia, Czech Republic, entrusted the responsibility of abandoned former agricultural land to the local branch of the environmental organisation Brontosaurus, to ensure the restoration of the ecosystem and use the space to carry out educational activities on environmental issues.
 These 5,000 square meters of the floodplain of Krce ceased to be exploited due to frequent flooding, before being colonised by invasive plants which significantly reduced the biodiversity. With long-term efforts and the right methods, Brontosaurus volunteers hope to transform this space into a haven for wetland-dependent flora and fauna made vulnerable by global warming. I followed them over the 2022 summer, to find out how the project was going.Â
