Improving wetland knowledge
and developing tools to enhance protection and restoration of Europe’s wetlands. Focused on biodiversity.


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.

🗞️PUBLICATION HIGHLIGHT
How can we prevent significant #GHGemissions when rewetting #peatlands?
One method is ...Topsoil Removal (TSR): Removing 30-60 cm of top layer peat #soil. Our partners @Radboud_Uni studied the effects of taking away different amounts of topsoil.
Preserving and restoring #wetlands will allow them to continue providing these key #ecosystem services which benefit ...humanity.
