Scientist dubbed The Bogfather is restoring peatland to fight climate change
Reported byBBC Science & Environment ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Dr. Peter Jones has spent 30 years restoring Wales' peatlands, which store 30% of the country's land-based carbon despite covering only 4% of the surface but being 90% degraded. Healthy peatland restoration simultaneously tackles climate change, flooding, wildfires, and biodiversity loss.
Restoration is ongoing; long-term carbon sequestration and ecosystem recovery depend on sustained, large-scale implementation across Wales.
