Peatlands: Nature's Carbon Storehouses and Climate Ally
For over 12,000 years, peatlands have been sequestering carbon, storing 30% of the world’s soil carbon while covering just 3% of Earth's land.

We aim to map and quantify their volume to improve their proper carbon stock assessment, necessary for climate sustainability
