Planning with Water in Mind: A Science-Based Tool for Protecting the Congo Basin Peatlands
Water is more than just a resource — it is a fundamental force that shapes ecosystems and sustains life, connecting landscapes from ridge to reef. In the Congo Basin, water plays a central role in maintaining the health and function of the region’s extensive peatlands. The peatlands in this region are critical for local livelihoods as well as global climate regulation and biodiversity conservation. They hold enough carbon which, if released, would amount to between 2-3 years of current total global CO₂ emissions.
