It's World Peatlands Day! 🌿
What better day to announce that WET HORIZONS will be holding its final conference session at SERE2026 in Brest this August!
Come join us for our special session about policy-ready evidence and tools for Europe's wetland restoration!
This time, as part of our campaign #SpongeBoostSites, we take you to the beautiful Pärnu catchment in southwestern Estonia, where the University of Tartu is leading SpongeBoost activities 🌿
Learn more about the case study and SpongeBoost’s role in it via the video ⬇️
📸 SpongeBoost was spotted at the 2nd General Assembly Meeting of the EU-funded @ferroproject.eu. 🌱
The event is currently taking place in Silkeborg, Denmark 🌍
Did you know? 💡 #Peatlands store more carbon than all the world’s forests combined, despite covering only 3% of the Earth's surface. Protecting these ecosystems is key to tackling climate change. 🌍
During the @bioagora.eu Second #SPIDialogue workshop taking place 2-3 June in Bucharest, Romania, Anders Iversen from DG-ENV of the European Commission mentioned SpongeBoost in his presentation! 👏
📚 He also mentioned our special issue “Wetlands in a changing climate” with 8 SpongeBoost papers.
Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay 2026! 🌍🫶
Today, we celebrate our planet and call for action towards a greener world. You can be part of this year’s #NowForClimate campaign, organised by @unep.org, by joining or hosting a World Environment Day event: www.worldenvironmentday.global/2026/get-inv...
SpongeBoost materials spotted at the #ICBBSR2026 conference in Patras, Greece! 🇬🇷☀️
Sharing valuable knowledge on sponge landscape restoration, our comic books, brochures and stickers were quickly distributed at the REST-COAST booth 💧🌿

Healthy peatlands help protect #biodiversity, store carbon & support resilient ecosystems.
Through the Plant Treaty, countries also work together to conserve & share crop diversity for a more food-secure and climate-resilient future.
