Interesting explanation of the tradeoffs between draining or rewetting peatlands. I guess restoring them also benefits wildlife and seems the better choice, but it involves reducing cropland, which only seems possible if we change our diet (edit: our food system)
The International Monetary Fund MUST financially support Brazil's proposals to implement repair & recovery of its degraded forest ecosystem - for the benefit of the whole world. All the global money sloshing around in managed funds is useless until it is put to work on preserving and repairing our Earth habitat for future generations. Such repair & recovery is already a huge task, but it gets bigger every day that the funding for such projects is withheld or disproportionately spent on subsidizing already obscenely rich fossil fuel enterprises. We are rapidly running out of time to save our Earth habitat, & we are already losing the ability to provide food, water & energy to feed 7-8 billion, with dire consequences piling up in the doorway.
Great and informative panel, thank you!

Mother Nature deserves better than this abolish all destruction of our planet
We are not close tô the tipping point of a tropical forest become a savana !
We are not at there, although its important tô change the trends
Always, "close to the tipping point", is a lie. We're well past many. Where we were, was not really a long-term geologicly stable regime.
WASF!
