PeatMatters has been developed under the Outreach Component of the Project on Integrated Management of Peatlands for Biodiversity and Climate Change. It is intended to enhance understanding at global level on peatland issues by informing readers of key issues on peatlands, biodiversity and climate change, progress on the project implementation as well as upcoming events and projects. 

This second issue focuses updates and progress of the project in the last year, with feature articles on the Russia, China and SE Asia project components. Other feature articles are related to the recent Tsunami incident on December 26, 2004 which had a devastating impact on several countries including Indonesia, as well as on the previous study tour (Sept/Oct 2004) where information and experiences were exchanged between Indonesia and Malaysia on peat management. A variety of materials on peat have been published and distributed at a local, national and international level. These materials can be viewed in PeatMatters Vol2.

For further updates and activities under this project, check Peat Portal regularly.

Cheers,
Murni Adnan
