Caring for Cinderella-Perceptions and experiences of peatland restoration in Scotland

Anja Byg et al.

Summary: In this paper, the engagement of people in peatlands and peatland restoration in Scotland is analyzed through the concept of care. The importance of personal experiences, relationships, and embodied learning in nurturing and defining care is highlighted. The study also addresses the challenges of caring well and the factors influencing people's capacity to care. Furthermore, the role of uncertainty and lack of knowledge in creating opportunities for co-creation of knowledge and caring practices is explored.

Smallholder perceptions of land restoration activities: rewetting tropical peatland oil palm areas in Sumatra, Indonesia

Caroline Ward et al.

Summary: In Indonesia, the majority of smallholder farmers are willing to accept the blocking of peatland drainage canals, perceiving it as reducing fire risk with no impact on yields or farm access. Farmers who are unwilling to accept blocking measures are typically more reliant on canals and perceive a negative impact on yields. This study highlights the importance of engaging with stakeholders to understand their concerns and perceptions in achieving successful peatland restoration.

Paludiculture as a sustainable land use alternative for tropical peatlands: A review

Zu Dienle Tan et al.

Summary: This review examines the importance of carbon storage in peatlands for climate change mitigation and explores the concept of paludiculture as a sustainable alternative for peatland use. The application of paludiculture in tropical regions is less understood compared to temperate regions, and there are ambiguities surrounding its definitions, key themes, and future directions. Further research is needed to evaluate the sustainability of paludiculture practices in the context of carbon sequestration in peat soils.
