What if we could see Canada’s peatlands, their carbon stocks, disturbances, and restoration potential, layered in a single interactive map? That vision is moving closer to reality through Can‑Peat’s rapidly expanding geospatial initiatives.

Across the Can‑Peat network, researchers are developing an impressive suite of geospatial products that will shape how Canada identifies, protects, and restores peatlands. Rather than working in isolation, these teams are building complementary maps that, together, create a powerful foundation for decision support, climate mitigation, and land‑use planning.
