Stichting RE-PEAT
Organisatie-informatie
RE-PEAT's vision is an interconnected world in which all peatland dwellers are supported culturally and ecologically
RE-PEAT are a group of enthusiastic peat-ple across Europe engaged in creative advocacy for peatlands. Our diverse backgrounds span art, science, and activism, united by a shared love for peatlands and a commitment to protecting them.
RE-PEAT wants to shift the narrative of peatlands as wastelands to peatlands as wonderlands.
We live in a world where ideas and narratives shape actions. The dominant narrative portrays peatlands as wastelands. Only through human manipulation will they be economically valuable. We work to change this, promoting a narrative that values intact peatlands for their ecological, cultural, climatic, and historical significance. This shift in perspective should stimulate behaviours and policies that prioritise the preservation and restoration of peatlands.
We create impact for peatlands in two key ways:
- We educate and activate those who are already concerned with environmental and social issues, introducing them to the importance of peatlands.
- We stimulate and support to adopt a peatland narrative rooted in environmental justice.
Our activities include: campaigning, workshops, talks, restoration efforts, webinars, art & design, educational programmes, articles & booklets, intallations & exhibitions.
