International Peat Society

The International Peat Society (IPS) is a global organization dedicated to promoting the sustainable use, management, and understanding of peatlands—wetlands rich in accumulated organic material called peat. It serves as a platform for scientists, industry experts, and policymakers to share knowledge, research, and best practices. The IPS aims to balance the ecological importance of peatlands with their economic uses, such as energy production, horticulture, and carbon storage, while emphasizing conservation and sustainable management to protect these unique ecosystems for future generations.
