Peatland restoration

Peatland restoration seeks to recover these degraded ecosystems, mainly by rewetting the soil and reintroducing native vegetation such as Sphagnum mosses. Healthy peatlands store carbon, regulate water, and harbor biodiversity; when degraded, they release greenhouse gases. Their restoration is key to mitigating climate change, conserving species, and securing water resources, with support from international organizations such as the IUCN, Ramsar, and UNEP.
