🌿 New EU project alert! ForPeat is advancing sustainable management & restoration of Europe’s forested peatlands 🌍

Through 8 Open Labs, AI tools & multi-actor collaboration, we aim to boost carbon storage, biodiversity & climate resilience.

#Peatlands #ClimateAction #Biodiversity #HorizonEurope
🍃 #Peatlands store vast amounts of #carbon and play a key role in #water regulation and #biodiversity protection. Yet decades of drainage and land-use change have left many European peatlands degraded, turning former climate allies into sources of greenhouse gas emissions.

🌿#Peatland forests across Europe are highly diverse ecosystems varying in nutrient levels, peat depth, hashtag#hydrology, and #management practices. This complexity makes both forestry operations and ecological restoration particularly challenging.

🗺️ Where can we find Europe’s #peatlands?

They stretch across the continent, but the largest concentrations are found in Finland and Sweden, followed by significant areas in Estonia, the Netherlands, and Poland.

🎥 New #REWET video!

We visit the Marchauen Nature Reserve in Austria — a floodplain landscape blooming again after more than 50 years of restoration. 🌿

Discover how REWET is contributing to its recovery!

🌿 Peatlands cover just 2.84% of Earth’s land but store 25% of its soil carbon — twice as much as all forests combined!

When healthy, they trap carbon & regulate water. When drained, they release massive GHGs.
