Paragraph: 258
Protection and restoration of peatlands have an important role to play in NbS.
Conclusion
Protection and restoration of peatlands have an important role to play in NbS. The Government’s announced ban on rotational burning of peat in protected areas is welcome, as part of the transformational change necessary to meet biodiversity and net zero targets. We commend the consultation on banning the sale of peat products and believe the proposal should be brought in as soon as possible.
