Peatlands as a safe haven for rare and threatened biodiversity
...
What is the Global Peatlands Initiative?
An effort by leading experts and institutions to save peatlands as the world’s largest terrestrial organic carbon stock and to prevent it being emitted into the atmosphere.
Get startedProvide an updated overall assessment of the status of peatlands and their importance in the global carbon cycle and to national economies. It emphasizes peatlands’ role in enabling the achievement of global commitments to mitigate climate change, as outlined in the Paris Agreement.
Identify and begin to respond to the needs of pilot countries with substantial peat coverage through building the knowledge base and developing options to reduce degradation. Improve the sustainability of peatland management including through restoration and the development and adoption of sustainable peatland strategies and action plans.

Proudly working in partnership to restore Scotland’s peatlands.
#Peatland restoration offers a #naturebasedsolution to the #climateemergency and #biodiversity loss
#peatlandsmatter #PeatlandAction @naturescot @cairngormsnews @CNPnature
Over one-quarter of the #Cairngorms National Park is made up of #peatlands or blanket bogs and at least 80% of these bogs are damaged. Peatland Action is working to restore these so they can play a vital role in our plan to reach Net Zero. #ClimateEmergency
thanks for posting @RobStoneman #PeatlandsMatter more and more @DiannaKopansky #BuildBackBetter
We know it will happen, yet we still manage the hills to give them the water absorption capacity of tarmac. Stop burning & stop over-grazing to ensure our hills can absorb these storms. Sandbags are not the answer. @EnvAgency @YWDirectors @WildlifeTrusts https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jan/18/met-office-warns-of-danger-to-life-from-storm-christoph
Congratulations we hope that’ll include action on #Peatlands #peatlandsMatter to us all
For a country like Peru, with high geographic, ecological and cultural diversity, having a solid National Adaptation Plan is an imperative to ensure that our progress in closing economic and social gaps endures https://twitter.com/nap_network/status/1351514748467208194
#PeatlandsMatter take #restoration action for water and our climate future

Healthy wetlands naturally remove pollutants from water which improves its quality making it safe for consumption.
