Conference Key Messages
Peatlands are important to us all – our largest natural carbon store, homes for rare and threatened wildlife, cultural and ecological archives, water supply and management, places to enjoy and relax, and places local people identify with and an important part of the ‘brand’ for food and drink.
Terms such as public benefits, ecosystem services, Natural capital all define these peatland features in ways that communicate with particular audiences.
