Only three percent of the land area is covered by peatlands, but they contain up to one third of the carbon in the soil.

The restoration of peatlands is important in reducing KHG emissions and carbon storage. Global warming is probably the most important global problem that affects both the natural environment of our planet and human society. Although it is largely caused by human activity, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to control and slow down, writes Tartu University professor, academician and chairman of the Global Change Commission of the Estonian Academy of Sciences Ülo Mander.
