Carbon credits as currently structured are ineffective for funding peatland restoration - but if effective, they could be actively harmful.

”When our rewilding program started, many big corporations offered us huge amounts of money if we certified carbon credits. We consulted with communities. But our answer was that we don’t sell nature.”

#Sundews' secret to survival: Study reveals how #CarnivorousPlants adapt to #microhabitat challenges https://phys.org/news/2025-01-sundews-secret-survival-reveals-carnivorous.html paper: https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1365-2435.14719
"they alter the density of their leaf tentacles and the uptake of nitrogen from prey to thrive in different #microhabitats, such as mounds and hollows, within #peatland #ecosystems... #plants invest more in carnivorous traits, when nutrients from the #soil are limited and light availability is high"

@AeonMach @jbenjamint I’d agree with you about not pinning our hopes on #hydrogen. But I used to live in the Gt Glen and saw the scale of environmental damage done by early pumped storage schemes - #LochNess/#LochMhor at #Foyers. But not only the early ones! The #GlenDoe scheme above #FtAugustus flooded a massive basin of #peatland supporting. good breeding populations of rare waders …dunlin, golden plover & greenshank… in the #Monadhliath
#pumpedStorage not the answer.
