24/09/2025  Freshly launched at RRR2025 conference : The first ever Paludi Product Catalogue! With as many pilot products, prototyps and services related to paludiculture as we could assemble. The aim is to provide a comprehensive over view and to show how diverse, innovative and marketable this new form of land use already is today.

To showcase the innovative potential of this field and highlight the diversity of existing products the catalogue is intended for:
• Farmers – to demonstrate the existing demand for paludiculture biomass across a wide range of products.
• Companies – that already process paludiculture biomass or plan to do so, offering inspiration and opportunities for networking
• Research, policymakers, and society

What makes it special: It is open to further contributions and will be regularly updated and expanded in the future. All new and existing Paludi products can be included.
The catalogue is launched at the "Renewable Resources from Wet and Rewetted Peatlands - 4th International Conference on the Utilisation of Wetland Plants", which is part of the project PaludiZentrale

2/09/2025  MoorMic/KoosMic – the microphone for the sound of the landscape directly from the coastal peatland – for everyone to listen to! KoosMic, because this new listening station is located on the island of Koos just outside Greifswald. From there, it transmits live and in recorded soundscapes of the surrounding habitats, the sounds of peatland meadows, pastures, and hedges. Wind in the reeds, rain on the shore, cows snorting, cranes calling – depending on the weather and season.

The MoorMic/KoosMic is part of the global acoustic cartography radio.aporee by media artist Udo Noll. He worked on it together with students of “Acoustic Ecologies and Sound Studies” at the Bauhaus University Weimar and their professor Kerstin Ergenzinger. Unobtrusive, virtually maintenance-free, solar-powered, and installed with minimal impact on the landscape – the group has successfully implemented its criteria for the MoorMic/KoosMic. The MoorMic has been transmitting since early summer. It has only had to be moved once so far. Cows had been sniffing at it too wildly.

The listening station is intended to promote awareness and perception of the environment. In line with the interdisciplinary research of “acoustic ecology,” it enables the condition and changes in landscapes to be recorded via sound. It is also about sharing and documenting the sound of the world. Almost everyone captures their world in pictures and videos, but what about sound snippets?

The island sound of the marshy coast of Greifswald Bay is available thanks to MoorMic/KoosMic – from anywhere, anytime, and for everyone. For a listening session, simply tune in at radio.aporee.org:8443/koosmic.
