Kyoto University to help RI’s peat restoration

Kyoto University has teamed up with the National Institute for the Humanities ( NIHU ) to help out with Indonesia’s ambitious peatland restoration project, an initiative that aims to see 2.26 million hectares of damaged peatland restored in the next five years.

The partnership team plan to research the various types of restorative treatments to be carried out within each recovery site and will focus on how to involve local people so as to later see them achieve an improved level of livelihood.
