Do we need a road map for tropical peat?

摘要

There are conflicts and arguments of the potential benefits of tropical peat but we still lack information and knowledge about it.We need an iterative planning tool as the basis for mobilisation and allocation of financial partnerships and synergy building.The tool is a road map to guide and answer the most difficult and latest academic questions.For example:is tropical peat more useful for agriculture or should it be preserved as swamp land that can preserve carbon,oxygen and water? Why,in certain countries is there a high risk of tropical peat burning while in others it is never seriously damaged? How should we deal with and handle intelligently tropical peat burning incidents and their unpleasant consequences and impacts on other countries? How should we deal with the difference in opinions between Government and NGOs? What are the appropriate international solutions to decrease the detrimental effects of tropical peat,especially on global warming? We need a road map which contains certain rules to guide us,even the world as tropical peat owner.It's a very important issue that IPS needs to be involved in,formulating the road map,since nowadays tropical peat is not only owned by certain countries but is also the responsibility of the whole world.A road map for tropical peat benefits has to be made internationally in years to come,starting from this Tullamore Peat Congress.The road map should become a protocol of tropical peat potential benefit,for all of us throughout the world.It would be a great foundation for knowledge and technology of tropical peat tropical benefit in certain aspects of life,prosperity,and nation gains in the world.
