Lungs of Europe
Belarus, 'The lungs of Europe', is known for its primeval forests and wetlands, which cover nearly half the country. However, in recent decades, hundreds of thousands of hectares of peatlands have been drained for peat extraction and agriculture. Peat is the largest and most efficient way to store carbon on land; it’s the world’s second-largest carbon sink after the oceans. Peat bogs can store on average 10 times more carbon per hectare even than forests
