Saving Peatlands One Carbon Credit at a Time | Wilmington News
Description
Scientists and investors are racing to save North Carolina’s threatened peatlands, a 23-square-mile carbon sink releasing 130,000 tons of CO2 yearly. By blocking drainage ditches and restoring native ecosystems, Pantheon Regeneration aims to halt emissions, revive wildlife, and generate revenue through carbon credits—funding a million-acre restoration across the Southeast over ten years. This bold project could transform degraded land into climate-resilient havens for biodiversity, proving peatlands are just as vital as forests in the fight against global warming.
