Just trees? Please...
The world is waking up to the fact that trees alone are by no means the best way to fight the climate crisis.
The world is waking up - to bogs.
A recent Guardian article unearths what we have known for 25 years that tropical peat swamps are climate critical ecosystems.
Peatlands contain more carbon than all the world’s forests (yes including the Amazon), but just 17% of this peat is protected, even then it’s still at risk from wildfires and other climate induced threats.
Indonesia and its massive peat-swamps are featured in the article, with their climate-critical importance.
Our plan to protect them? Dams.
All our work is connected, from the education programmes we run to firefighting to dam building. Dam building is a near instant way to restore degraded peat-swamp rainforest.
The scientists (including ours) say protecting peat is essential to keeping global heating below targets.
We know the world’s peatlands are dangerously under-protected; and we know what to do to fix it.
With dams, land rights, education and more all in collaboration with communities and government agencies but; we need you too.
This year we have a goal to build 200 dams at £600 a pop to restore peat swamp rainforest.
Now is the time to back this project and protect one of the largest land stores of carbon on the planet.
Give a dam about rainforest!
