A small Polish village saves the moors | DW Documentary
The Polish village of Rozwarowo in northern Poland is saving the moors. Local thatcher Alfred Smolczynski initiated the process: He’s been renaturalizing the moor since the 1980s, in the face of much resistance. Now, bird conservationists are reintroducing the sedge warbler there.
The ornithologists stay in the village for about a month. One of them is Krzysztof Kałużny. Along with his colleagues, he raises the chicks. The ornithologists catch insects in the surrounding area. Then, from sunrise to sunset, they feed the young birds every half hour.
The birds initially grow up in cages. Later, they live in aviaries in Alfred Smolczynski’s fields. Finally, they are released into the wild. The villagers are delighted to see the birds return.
The film shows how dedicated people in a small village are working together to revive a valuable and endangered ecosystem: The moor. Their efforts are giving nature space to grow.
