About 50 000 wild species are used for food, energy, medicine, material & other purposes. This includes many plants. But often these plants are not sourced or used sustainably, which threatens #biodiversity. 🌱How Food and Agriculture Organization is protecting them 👉 doi.org/10.4060/cb9267…

Peatlands are a type of wetlands which are among the most valuable ecosystems on Earth but when damaged are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. Restoring them can help combat #ClimateChange.
