"Peatlands are one of the world’s biggest carbon sinks. These naturally
waterlogged boggy swamps can hold thousands of years’ worth of compressed,
partially decomposed vegetation matter — despite covering just 3-4% of Earth’s
land surface, they’re thought to store more carbon per area than the world’s
forests combined.
In honor of World Peatland Day on June 2 we present three recent Mongabay
stories that shed light on this critical ecosystem."
