Poland: wetlands as protective shields
3 min
Available until 24/10/2026

Marshes and bogs are nearly impossible for tanks to traverse and also serve as valuable carbon sinks in the fight against climate change. These natural barriers could become a key component of the country’s Eastern Shield programme.
