The International Peatland Society

The International Peatland Society (IPS) is a global organization dedicated to the sustainable use, conservation, and restoration of peatlands—wetlands that store large amounts of carbon and support diverse ecosystems. It brings together scientists, policymakers, industry leaders, and environmentalists to share knowledge, promote responsible management, and address climate change challenges related to peatlands. By fostering collaboration and research, the IPS helps ensure peatlands are protected and used wisely for ecological health, carbon storage, and resources like fuel and horticultural products.
