Description
MoorFutures, with their well-documented additional ecosystem services, offer corporations an opportunity to offset their emissions while investing in the biological diversity and the multiple benefits of peatlands. For this reason, MoorFutures are supported by ‘Enterprise Biological Diversity 2020’, a project initiated by the BfN, which works together with German industry and conservation organizations to protect biodiversity.
