You've probably heard about 'Nature-Based Solutions' in the past, but do you know what the term truly means? Nature (especially wetlands) is our biggest ally against #climatechange but protecting nature has benefits beyond the climate crisis. For example, did you know that #mangroves protect 15 million people from floods across the world each year? And that #peatlands are the largest terrestrial carbon sink on the planet? youtube.com/watch?v=C_MCp-…

There is one tiny advantage of not having a national committee - first timers can join for a 50% discount. Next invoices in June 2025. (Not available in Can, China, Est, Fin, Ger, Indon, Ire, Lit, Mal, NL, Swe, Ukr, UK & US - ask these National Committees for their conditions.)

Over the next two months, we invite groups to visit our project farms to see how raising the water table works on agricultural peat soils. In particular, we encourage farmers, advisors, and agricultural students to join us for a field trip. Get in touch: farmpeat.ie/contact

Facts: 1) Permafrost is thawing with recent warming, worsened by fires and human land use. 2) Thawing ground releases greenhouse gases typically more than it stimulates plant growth. 3) Thaw can interfere with infrastructure, hunting, travel, and military operations.

In the EU, current emissions from organic soils (98 Mt CO2 eq.) correspond to 40% of the net removals of the LULUCFsector. Management of organic soils and peatland restoration provide CC mitigation potential. Our recent paper by @LukeFinland @UEFLawSchool frontiersin.org/journals/envir…

Our peatlands restoration team recently visited Mayo to study hepatic mats, which must be protected when developing & implementing blanket bog restoration plans. These are unique bryophyte communities that, although prefer well-drained soils, can be found on blanket bogs too.
