Peatland restoration can deliver climate mitigation benefits within a few decades
New research indicates that restoration of peatlands can result in climate mitigation within just a few decades. In Finland, some 60,000 hectares of previously forestry-drained peatlands have already been restored, comprising mainly nutrient-poor sites with weak tree growth. In such cases, peatland plants remain viable and react rapidly to restoration, resulting in the formation of a thick new layer of Sphagnum moss.

Bristol Myers Squibb, an industry stalwart in need of a hit, is betting a pill called Cobenfy can become the first approved medicine for the millions of Americans diagnosed with psychosis related to Alzheimer’s disease.
