RE-PEAT collective fight for planetary peat protection Peatlands cover a small proportion of land area on the planet, but are
monumental in reducing the release of greenhouse gases that would otherwise be released and contribute to climate change. Yet, not enough is being done to restore and protect these fragile environments, which host a diversity of unique vegetation and wildlife. RE-PEAT are a worldwide collective of students, researchers, artists and activists who are raising awareness of what peatlands offer, and the importance of protecting them. They communicate key facts, figures and insights through creative media, from digital materials to events.
