Did you know that approximately 6% of the Earth's land surface is covered by wetlands? These vital ecosystems are under threat, yet many people are unaware of what wetlands are and the benefits they provide in mitigating climate change, preserving biodiversity, and maintaining water systems. Today, we welcome Alexander Kornelsen from Mission to Marsh, an organization doing amazing work, which is committed to ensuring that wetlands can once again provide an Earth worth living on in the future.Alexander is the director and co-founder of Mission to Marsh. With a background in marketing and storytelling, he combines his passion for visual communication with a deep commitment to making global environmental issues tangible. Together with his partner Ann Christin, a peatland scientist, he developed the idea for a documentary road movie that uniquely blends science and emotion. His goal is not only to inform people but to inspire them to take action – for wetlands, for the climate, and for our shared future.Learn more about Mission To Marsh - https://missiontomarsh.org/Please give us your support by...Tune in and subscribe to the We Need to Act podcast via Spotify or Apple Podcasts.Support our show by ⁠buying us a coffee⁠.Join our page on ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠ Subscribe to our newsletter on our ⁠⁠website⁠⁠
