As reported before (IMCG Newsletter 2005/2) the IMCG is a partner in the UNEP-GEF project “Integrated management of peatlands for biodiversity and climate change”. The project asked IMCG to assist in delivering one of its key products: a global handbook on peatland restoration.
As you will understand, a handbook that is relevant for all aspects of peatland restoration for all regions of the world is complicated to conceive. Therefore it took much effort to think of an approach that may provide the required conceptual and technical information without ending up in a confusing tangle of facts and methods.
In week 15 (half April) we plan to put the results so far on the IMCG website, where we hope to receive your critical comments, additions, and ideas.
Eventually we want to extend this initiative to a kind of peatland restopedia, a web-based instrument that can actively be accessed to share knowledge and experience worldwide.
