Saw mowns ow senjy moy a dhioxid carbon ha oxîds nitrojen ewedh, ha henn ew gwell. Rag fra ma sehans an dowregow? Drefen voydya an dowr rag gonisegeth ha displegyansow derevyans. Martesen bevers alja gweres. 

There is a climate crisis. We know that. We are seeking to know, "What can we do?" But what is the answer? According to the magazine "New Scientist", we should rewet our dried wetlands. But wetlands produce methane, and that is a greenhouse gas. True. But they also trap more carbon dioxide and nitrogen dioxide, and that is better. Why is there drying of wetlands? Because of draining the water away for agriculture and building developments. Perhaps beavers could help.
