About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of protecting Canada's peatlands and the new national strategy by WCS Canada.
Peatlands don’t get the attention they deserve. Worldwide, these wetlands provide crucial ecosystem services. They are vital for Indigenous livelihoods and as carbon storage powerhouses. Canada has some of the world's largest remaining intact peatlands. Now, WCS Canada has a new national strategy to safeguard them before it’s too late. Reporting: Dan Rosen Guest: Victoria Goodday
