The Mouse in the bogs

About cow burps, smacking ground and pickled cucumbers

17/08/2022 The mouse was here! In the summer, the children's television program "Show with the Mouse" took a closer look at climate issues - including in the bogs. From the scientists at the Greifswald Mire Centre, the mouse learned why peatlands are drained, peat is mined and farming on these soils is bad for the climate. Especially when cows graze on it. Clarissa, Ralph and Johannes explain what pickles and peatlands have to do with each other and why a man on snowshoes remotely controls a “lawnmower” in the middle of the bog and the ground smacks. More about this in the “Sendung mit der Maus” on Sunday August 21st at 9:30 a.m. on Erste or at 11:30 a.m. on KiKa. Or already in the media library
