Peatlands are one of nature’s oldest and most powerful carbon sinks, quietly supporting climate stability, biodiversity, and communities around the world. Yet when degraded, they become a major driver of fires, emissions, and haze.
In this episode of The Palm Pod, we explore Peatlands 101, why peatlands matter, how their degradation fuels fires and haze, and why protecting them is critical for a sustainable future. From climate impacts to governance and accountability, this conversation unpacks what’s really at stake.
Host Fara Rom is joined by Beatrice Baquero-Salah, Manager, Partnerships & Outreach at PM.Haze, a leading voice in peatland and haze advocacy based in Singapore.
Tune in for a clear, grounded conversation on peatlands as nature’s OG carbon sinks and what it will take to protect them.
