About the Project
In 2017 our research team revealed that the world's largest tropical peatland is located in the geographical heart of Africa. Over 10,000 years peat has been building up. Today the central Congo peatlands store 30 billion tonnes of carbon, requiring careful protection.
CongoPeat brings together an interdisciplinary team of leading experts to study this newly discovered yet threatened ecosystem.
