Dear Reader,
It’s not often that conservation goals and military strategy converge. But that’s exactly what’s happening along eastern European borders where, inspired by Ukraine’s flooding of the Irpin Valley, which stalled Russia’s 2022 assault on Kyiv, scientists and strategists are proposing a massive network of restored wetlands. According to a story in Yale360, the ambitious rewilding plan — referred to by advocates as an “ecological call to arms” — would create peatland-based ”area-denial zones” from Finland to Romania, turning Europe’s peatlands into conflict buffers and climate shields while preserving ecologically valuable areas. Peatlands, after all, are powerful climate sinks, storing twice as much carbon as the world’s forests.
Curious to read more about how peatlands are a climate savior? Check out Bluedot contributor Cleo Carney’s story on our Bluedot Institute site.
Boggily,
Dot

Private loans can bridge federal funding gaps
|
 |
|
Don't let them fall short. By this time of year, most students already have their college plans sorted out for the Fall semester - but figuring out how to pay for it can be a big question mark. If their federal aid package doesn't cover everything, a private student loan may fill the gap. College Ave makes it easy with a 3-minute application process, flexible loan options, and great customer service. Plus, their loans cover 100% of school costs* and don't have origination fees!
