Mr. Niall ? Brolch?in:

Deputy Whitmore's point on biodiversity is well made. Biodiversity is not the same thing as restoration of peatlands from a carbon point of view. It is a kind of subset. If we get good biodiversity in terms of peatlands, that means that we must have a properly wet, restored peatland. It does not necessarily work the other way round.

There is a common misconception about rewetting, that if somebody rewets some land, it will somehow flood neighbouring land. In fact, the practice generally is that people find it is the other way round.
