- Proposal fields ask for species names, peatland relationships, cultural ties, references, and spatial scope.
Field notes
The proposal form asks contributors to connect a species to peatland ecology and to people, communities, and culture, with references and spatial scope available as supporting context. The project’s case for the exercise is that peatlands remain underrepresented in conservation despite their climate importance; the page states that only 17% of global peatland area is protected.
