OBJECTIVES
- Classify current land use and prepare an inventory of peatland area, thickness and potential;
- Evaluate the effectiveness and potential for sustainable development of different types of peat land use (agriculture, forestry, nature);
- Formulate strategies for sustainable management of tropical peatlands, in conjunction with stakeholders;
- Implement these strategies in conjunction with policy makers, decision takers and practitioners;
- Strengthen developing country research and institutional capability.
