Peatland definitions and concepts influence how we assess and interpret peatland restorations—the activities to restore the habitat to its best possible condition—where success and failure are defined in terms of carbon emissions, water table, and biodiversity. While peatland damage can be captured through bio-physical and ecological measurements, peatland restoration success is strongly influenced by its location, relationship to the local community, execution of the peatland restoration activities and legal protection. This webinar highlights the social legal and ecological perspective of peatland restoration and discuss the possible trade-offs that may occur in peatland restoration
