A holistic approach

WET HORIZONS brings together people from different backgrounds (including wet and peatland experts, biomodelers, and policy analysts) with the goal of restoring Europe‘s wetlands.

Collecting data

WET HORIZONS aims to fill in crucial knowledge gaps about wetlands. The data collection will also include a citizen science component.

Tools for large scale restoration

Using the collected data, WET HORIZONS will create tools and guidelines that will fast track large scale restoration of Europe‘s wetlands.

For us, #SciComm also means drawing attention to important scientific issues that have not yet ...received much public attention! For example #PeatlandProtection & restoration. The @WetHorizons project explains why: #CarbonCapture

Many #peatlands are turned into heavily used #grassland, even though the grass species growing naturally also offer ...much potential. But above all, they should be protected & restored because of their role in #climatechange mitigation @WetHorizons

Can you help connect me to someone who might know people in the Romanian part of the Danube catchment? If possible ...we're looking for people interested in the peatlands and wetlands in the catchment (it is for the @WetHorizons project). Any help much appreciated!
