DRC Peatland Forests Research - CLIPREEL

Documentation of ground-level research into satellite data on vast peatland areas recently discovered by scientists in the swamps of the Congo Basin rainforest, as well as affected communities and the natural environment. The most carbon-rich tropical region in the world is estimated to store the equivalent of three years’ worth of total global fossil fuel.
Scientists Dr Simon Lewis and Dr Greta Dargie from the University of Leeds (UK) undertake a research expedition along with Greenpeace to Équateur Province in the DRC.
