Good news from Argentina! The beautiful #peatlands of Peninsula Mitre have been designated as a @ramsarconv.bsky.social site. Congratulations! #peatlandsmatter
Exciting News! Argentina has added Península Mitre to the List of Wetlands of International Importance. Situated at the southernmost tip of South America, the #RamsarSite covers almost 370,000 hectares.

Peatlands hold nearly 30% of Earth’s soil organic carbon, regulate water and nutrient cycles, support biodiversity and sustain the livelihoods of millions of people.

This is clearly a breakthrough for #peatland restoration and #paludiculture: A large industrial player has decided to use shipping boxes with paludiculture biomass only by 2028. I wouldn't have believed this a few years ago! #peatlandsmatter
Wie werden Paludi-Produkte das neue Normal? Erstmals gelingt das mit dem Paludi-Versandkarton. Seit gestern offiziell: Bis 2028 sollen alle (!) Kartons bei OTTO höchstmöglichen Paludi-Anteil haben. Gratulation zu dieser Entscheidung! @succow-stiftung.de @fnr.de @bmel.de

🌱 A milestone that shaped the future of peatland science.

Nice piece by @dancharles.bsky.social featuring @tannebergerf.bsky.social about rewetting peatlands that have been drained for agriculture in Germany and elsewhere.
"An average acre of drained peatland releases about 12 tons of CO2 every year, roughly the equivalent of driving 25,000 miles."
"An average acre of drained peatland releases about 12 tons of CO2 every year, roughly the equivalent of driving 25,000 miles."
This soil is slowly burning, releasing CO2. The solution? Let water reclaim it
Peatlands, formed by ancient wetlands, store more carbon than the world's forests. But when they're drained for farming, they vent heat-trapping carbon dioxide into the air.

For over 30 years, peatlands have been at the heart of our research — from understanding their ecology to restoring them.
Let’s raise awareness and fall in love with peatlands — because we protect what we love. 💚
