We have created a diversity of new features at our quarry project in the northeast of Portugal and the results are starting to show. With this update we aim to tell you all about the new habitats we have created and also show you some of the species that have moved in.

🔎 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.

@@ArchOrigin From my observation farming practice change occurs most, when farmers see other farmers doing things differently. Encouraged change is better than sweeping legislation.

People just got on and did it, with support and good science.

@@Communism.is.a.cancer I love your nickname and direction of interest. You should probably get into hydrology, that is water that runs on land and just under the land (ground water is another thing). Conservation biologist is someone with little understanding regarding water balances but better understanding on animals and plants. So to make the biggest effect of your time you should probably get into hydrology, get some understanding regarding the flora and fauna affected, and then colaborate with the biologists. The problem with biologists is that they are often obstinate and not very understanding, loke PETA for example. They often block off rationality. Stick to being smart. =) Good luck mate!

@henriettanovember4733 Год назад

This is so wonderful! I grew up on a very dry island in the Baltic sea. Many years ago the government forced farmers to remove small, shallow lakes that existed all over that island and make them into farmland. The farmers refused but then the government got laborers from the mainland that did this work and forced the farmers to grow crops on what was the bottom of these former lakes. It did not grow well but they were forced to continue for about 100 yrs and the climate changed on this little island. It became dry. Very dry and more and more rain fell on the sea around the island instead of on the land. Now some farmers have recreated lakes on their land and so many birds and frogs and plants and insects have come to these lakes. I hope more such lakes will be recreated. Bless you for all that you do for Mother Earth💙

@StephBer1 Год назад

Government people always live in cities. They don't know the land and don't listen to true farmers who understand the Earth. They know how nature works. They know that trees, lakes and waterways feed the clouds, which in turn feed the waterways. The proverbial circle.

The dragonfly is a Vagrant Emperor (Anax ephipigger). It's normally native to africa, but after certain wheather conditions, they will wander hundrets of kilometers in search of new habitats. The furthest they were found is scandinavia and even iceland! This is actually happening right now, as we have a bunch of sightings here in switzerland from different parts of the country. They have a very short reprduction time as a larvae (2-3 months, normally big dragonflies like this need at least one year), adapted to the hot african temporary ponds. In europe they will reproduce once but eventually they will die in winter, when temperatures get too cold for the eggs and larvae. Love your stuff!

The dragonfly at 10:29 looks to be an Anax ephippiger (Vagrant Emporer), a male ... the tip of the abdomen seems to be a good fit, as is the coloration in general. It might be Anax parthenope, but my bet is on the first I mentioned. Both are migratory from Africa and both are interesting visitors to the area. Congrats on the great project! Keep up the excellent work.

I forgot to add ... THE species that is now flying and might be present at your site is Brachytron pratense (Hairy Hawker) ... keep a look out for it, it is rare in Portugal but your site is perfect (shallow ponds, lots of vegetation, areas where there are little to no fish).

@promontorium Год назад

I used to be obsessed with frogs. As such I became very good at finding them in the wild. Frogs can hold their breath a long time, but they usually don't. Especially if they dove under from being scared. If you want to get footage of frogs, it's OK if you scare them a little upfront. The key then is to remain as still as possible for rarely more than a minute. They pop back up to see what's going on. If you're not moving a lot they'll chill out. That's actually the trick with almost every animal in nature. If you just sit still for a few minutes many animals will come right by. You don't have to be frozen, just no sudden or continuous moves.

Work like this would be really great to see in the UK, specifically in Kent where a lot of quarries have been dug out.

England in this area is in dire need of of this kind of love, as all wildlife is dying at a past pace and is nowhere to be seen even in nature reserves. Please consider a project in these quarries!

You guys are amazing. Love the work you're doing. Just got a job working with my professors on some wetland restorations across the pond. It's some of the most fulfilling work I have ever done. Your organization and your mission are a real inspiration.

Looking forward to the updates! I enjoy seeing landscape transformations like this! I think as people we need to use the resources in the ground and it should be mandatory when we are done to rebuild a working ecosystem in its place!

Yet another beautiful and informative video… My favorite thing about these videos are when you explain what species are in each project, what their relationship with each other is, and how they’re all connected. Stunning work

We definitely need more thriving wetlands!! Keep up the good work!!

This is so cool!!! I sent this to my mom since I knew she’d love it as well, biodiversity is her jam

Great work! I would recommend adding more dirt to the cork as it's a key area and with lots of rain it could also wash away. The crayfish will cause problems as they burrow into the bank and will undermine the dams.

@MossyEarth Год назад

Good tips! The idea is to plant them with trees and bushes as well but it is all a work in progress for now - Cheers, Duarte

@ericb4492 Год назад

@@MossyEarth will you be using a waddle fence t stabilize the banks? The willow type that would grow into the bank?

@pattheplanter Год назад

@@MossyEarth Alnus glutinosa (alder, amieiro) would be a good native tree to plant along the edge close to the water, they love water. You were pointing to the top of the barrier but the sides need stabilising the most. I would put in some Utricularia to control mosquitoes, though they won't eliminate them they will allow other insects to dominate.

@HylanderSB Год назад

@@MossyEarth I would advise AGAINST planting trees. They are bad for dams. Probably a lot worse than crayfish can be.

Really cool to see how profound of a change can be made with such a budget. As always you've done a great job documenting in an engaging way as well. super happy to be a small part of this.

Thank you for making these changes to help increase diversity and give our animal, plant and insect cousins a lovely home. Making a scar caused by humans into a “beauty mark”.
