We've written a piece for @uk.theconversation.com accompanying our #PeatQuest study identifying priority questions in #peatland science, explaining how the questions aren't just technical priorities, but encompass communities, livelihoods, power and fairness.

This paper would not exist without the core #PeatQuest team, our amazing co-authors, nor without the hundreds who gave their time to submit questions and those who helped us reach communities we'd otherwise have missed.

The questions span from the fundamental (What is the global extent of peatlands?) to the transformative (How do we integrate Indigenous knowledge into restoration? How can carbon markets work equitably for local communities?) The full list is available as a community resource. #PeatQuest

Peatlands store more carbon than the world's forests yet fundamental questions remain unanswered. Today we publish 50 priority research questions, identified by 467 participants from 54 countries #PeatQuest #Peatlands

One of the most important carbon stores and beneficial ecosystems are peatlands. PeatQuest wants to know what YOU think are the most critical questions in peatland research. See link:
