Our new Rounding Up project: Restoring a dried peatland to protect climate and nature

Published December 15, 2025

Together with you, we are supporting a new project as part of our Rounding Up feature: Your donation will go to Mission to Marsh, enabling the rewetting and restoration of a severely degraded peatland in the Altes Moor near Osnabrück. Here you can learn why we chose this project and how your contribution creates real impact.

With our Rounding Up Feature, you can round up to the next euro every time you pay with your Tomorrow card and support projects that promote climate and social justice. What is just a few cents for each individual becomes a meaningful collective contribution that truly makes a difference. Together, we have already funded several projects.

Peatlands protect climate, water systems and biodiversity – yet more than 95 percent are destroyed

Peatlands are among the planet’s most powerful climate protectors. They store more CO₂ than all forests combined. However, in Germany more than 95 percent of peatlands have been destroyed and are now emitting greenhouse gases instead of storing them. At the same time, biodiversity declines and water systems become unstable.

The Altes Moor near Osnabrück shows this clearly: decades of peat extraction have left the ecosystem heavily damaged. Mission to Marsh addresses exactly this challenge and combines climate action, ecological restoration and education. The goal is to rewet the peatland and gradually rebuild it into a stable, functioning ecosystem that benefits people and nature in the long term.

The Rounding Up project with Mission to Marsh

The Mission to Marsh project focuses on restoring hydrology, bringing back sphagnum mosses and re-establishing biodiversity. Implementation includes site analysis, water-level monitoring and close collaboration with local authorities. Schools, local communities and visitors are actively involved to raise awareness for the importance of peatlands.

Through workshops, guided tours and community activities, people get the chance to experience peatlands firsthand. The combination of scientific restoration and educational work ensures that the project restores not only land, but also knowledge and engagement. The rewetting process leads to long-term benefits: reduced CO₂ emissions, healthier water systems and renewed habitats for threatened species.

He looks at the camera with a smile and gives a thumbs up with one hand. In the background, there are three other people, some of whom are working and taking photos.

These are the concrete goals that are to be achieved together with the Tomorrow Community:

  • Rewetting and stabilizing large areas of the Altes Moor

  • Return of typical peatland species such as sphagnum mosses

  • Increased water levels and reduced potential CO₂ emissions

  • Workshops, guided tours and events for several thousand people
