Figure 5: Restoration of bog ecosystems in the Chiemsee region was on the agenda on Thursday,
19.7.2012. Interest in peatland restoration, in particular restoration of formerly peat-mined bogs, has
gained momentum during the past decade as a potential tool for climate mitigation. Bogs may act as sinks
for climate-relevant trace gases, provided that methane emissions do not outweigh carbon storage in the long run. Short-term management for minimizing methane emissions can, however, collide with
restoration of intact plant and animal communities, as Dr. Jan Sliva vividly explained. Photo by
G.Overbeck.

Figure 7: Self-restoration by forest ecosystems following catastrophic damage by bark beetles is a major feature of the National Park „Bayerischer Wald“. Raising
acceptance for this „Do-nothing-approach“ among stakeholders requires major efforts. Excursion group with Prof. J.Müller and park ranger Günter Sellmayer,
