English: Peatlands, in their natural state, are one of the best carbon-storing ecosystems, as they are capable of permanently binding carbon to the soil. However, when peats are degraded, they become a major source of carbon dioxide release into the atmosphere, contributing to global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The aim of the LIFE Peat Restore project is therefore to mitigate climate change by means of restoring peatlands in Northern Europe.
One of the restored sites, the Słowiński National Park on the Baltic coast of Poland, is visible in this image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 23 May 2022.
