The document discusses UK peatlands, which are currently a net source of greenhouse gas emissions but could potentially be a net sink. It notes that only 22% of UK peatlands are in a natural condition and restoring more could significantly reduce emissions. It proposes using earth observation data and machine learning to monitor the condition and function of peatlands over time and providing this information to stakeholders in a visible and searchable format to help inform management and restoration efforts. Expertise is needed from earth observation practitioners and artificial intelligence specialists to develop such a monitoring platform.
