Peatland Indonesia has one of the largest extents of tropical monitoring, guided by science-based practice, can peatlands globally, and these peatlands provide enhance the transparency and accountability of the numerous ecosystem services including their ability reporting process, and hopefully ascertain higher to slowly sequester and store carbon. [...] restoration involves use of criteria and indicators (C and I) that are easy to recognize, measure and Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by peatland monitor over time and are also locally relevant. [...] CIFOR, in collaboration with, BRG and other partners, • Determination of the roles and responsibilities of all such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the participating agencies and experts in identifying, United Nations (FAO), UN Environment Programme testing and finalizing C and I for peatland World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) restoration. [...] peatlands restoration success • Participants familiarized with validated C and I Webinar 2 will facilitate important discussions on • Knowledge exchanged, through discussions biophysical aspects of peatland conditions such on scientific ways to use a C and I approach to as hydrology (water balance), greenhouse gases monitoring and evaluation of peatland restoration. [...] emissions (due to land use and land cover change and degradation) and impacts of fire.
