    “Deep beneath the seemingly still surface of the world’s peatlands lies one of the planet’s most consequential plumbing systems. These waterlogged landscapes cover only about three percent of the global land surface, yet they store more carbon than all terrestrial biomass combined. When they are drained for forestry, agriculture, or peat extraction, the falling water table exposes ancient organic matter to oxygen, accelerating decomposition and releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Estimates suggest that every centimetre of water-table decline adds roughly 0.3 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per hectare per year, a relationship that has transformed many drained peatlands from net carbon sinks into persistent carbon sources. Rewetting through ditch blocking and damming has therefore become a cornerstone of climate mitigation policy, enshrined in initiatives such as the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and the European Union’s legally binding Nature Restoration Law. But a fundamental question has haunted restoration practitioners for decades: when you block a ditch, how far does the benefit actually spread?...”
    “A new study [link above] offers the most mechanistically complete answer yet. [T]he research used a fully integrated three-dimensional physics-based model called HydroGeoSphere to simulate how rewetting propagates through a boreal fen… Unlike the sparse point measurements that dominate conventional restoration assessments, the model resolved water-table dynamics across the entire 224-hectare mire and its 556-hectare headwater catchment at daily resolution over a full hydrological year, generating millions of spatially explicit data points that no field campaign could ever collect…”

  6. As #EastAfrica’s oceans change, coastal women build new livelihoods

    By ALLAN OLINGO, July 5, 2026 at 10:36 pm

    MALINDI, #Kenya (AP) — "The unfinished restaurant is still little more than concrete walls and wooden beams. As her daughter sweeps away the last piles of sand, 54-year-old Nuru Mohammed directs women hanging fishing nets to serve as decor. In a few days, the beachside restaurant on Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast will open, offering another way to earn a living.

    " 'For us women, this is hope,' says Mohammed, who, for most of her life, was one of the few fisherwomen in Malindi, a town northeast of the port city of #Mombasa. 'It will help support many families that have depended on the ocean for decades.'

    "Across East Africa’s coast, fisherfolk are increasingly turning to tourism, #EcosystemRestoration and other conservation-based businesses, reinventing their relationship with the sea as #ClimateChange, #overfishing and declining ocean health threaten their livelihoods.

    "In Kenya, women are turning restored #MangroveForests into sources of income through #beekeeping and #ecotourism. In #Tanzania’s #Zanzibar archipelago, fishing communities are protecting #CoralReefs through locally managed closures. In #Mozambique, #SeaGrassRestoration is creating jobs while reviving marine habitats. Together, these efforts are redefining resilience, not as leaving the ocean behind, but as restoring it while building enduring livelihoods.

    " 'Communities that depend on the ocean are also its best stewards,' said Andreane Martel, project director for a conservation program dubbed #ReSea. 'When local people, especially women, lead conservation, they protect #biodiversity while creating more resilient and inclusive livelihoods.' "
