Indonesia Speeds Up Peatland Restoration to Save Degraded Lands

Indonesia is pushing for faster restoration of its peatland ecosystems. Deputy Minister of Forestry Rohmat Marzuki announced the government’s plan to accelerate efforts to fix degraded peatlands. These lands, which are waterlogged and rich in carbon, are critical for preventing fires and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The move aims to protect the environment and support local communities who rely on these areas.
