Dr Renou-Wilson stated earlier it is not sufficient to stop peat extraction or to ban unsustainable use of peatlands. I assume from that statement that her best scientific advice and her experience on the international panel is that we should immediately cease all extraction of peat. That would be one way to immediately save 5 million tonnes per annum.
