People with a bold vision will save the earth. And we’re here to help them.

As the Futurestories Foundation, we support projects that are committed to our planet, to nature – and to us human beings.

Preserving moors

The world’s most effective carbon reservoirs

Around 95 per cent of moorlands in Germany are considered to be severely impaired or destroyed. This is a serious problem, because moors are a habitat for many plant and animal species.

We need moor! Silent heroes in the fight against the climate crisis.

Moors store more carbon than all the world’s forests combined, protect against flooding and serve as a habitat for many endangered species. They are enormously important ecosystems, so we are working with the Loki Schmidt Foundation to ensure that they are preserved or rewetted. During a project visit to the moorlands around Hamburg, Axel Jahn, Managing Director of the Loki Schmidt Foundation, guides us through these beautiful landscapes.
