The Großes Moor bei Dänschenburg is a significant high moor in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. This unique natural area is a testament to ongoing efforts to restore its ecological balance. Historically impacted by peat extraction, the reserve's primary purpose of protection is the comprehensive renaturation of its valuable high moor ecosystem. Measures such as closing drainage ditches are underway to facilitate rewetting and revive the characteristic flora and fauna dependent on this specific habitat. The aim is to fully restore the moor's natural hydrological conditions, allowing its distinct plant communities, like various sphagnum mosses and sedges, along with associated wildlife, to thrive once more.
