Peatlands
type of wetlands
cover 3% of global land surface
almost every country on earth
natural terrestrial carbon store
preserving
global biodiversity
provide
safe drinking water
minimise flood risk
help
address climate change
Damage peatlands
major sources of GHG emission
restoration
bring sig emission reductions
Invasive Alien Species (IAS)
any bilogical species
introduced outside
their natural range
negatively impact
native biodiversity,
ecosystem function, health
and human welfare
second-biggest
cause for biodiversity loss
next to habitat destruction
IAS
reproduce rapidly and
out-compete
the natice species for food, water, and space
global climate change
facilitating the spread
establishment of IAS
Therefore
resilience of ecosystem
weakened by these species
