Swamplands in the Yukon Context: Knowledge and perspectives from author Edward Struzik on the role and status of peatlands

Journalist Edward Struzik’s recently released book, Swamplands: Tundra Beavers, Quaking Bogs, and the Improbable World of Peat offers a look at wetlands around the world – from the Arctic to the Mojave Desert. This SCOPe webinar will offer the audience a chance to hear what he’s learned in his adventures, and about connections of this work to the Yukon context. The role of peatlands in carbon sequestration and as crucial habitats for a diverse range of flora and fauna are among the topics to be explored. A question and answer discussion with the audience will follow the presentation.
