Great article Melanie! My best friend Zoe Studd runs love RimuRimu if you wanna chat to her sometime? And 💯 that blue carbon is where it’s at, but it’s in the preservation side more than the restoration one (as Zoe will tell you too!). I’m turning two of my bottom paddocks back to wetland. There’s a carbon bomb in the Congo, I think, where one giant peatland, if drained, contains enough carbon to catapult us beyond our limit. There was a great Guardian article on that but then I never heard about it again: https://amp.theguardian.com/environment/2022/nov/02/carbon-timebomb-climate-crisis-threatens-to-destroy-congo-peatlands
Really enjoyed this. https://www.loverimurimu.org is another really interesting restoration project for seaweed around Wellington.
Thank you. I checked out the site, it looks like a fascinating project.

It would be great to chat to Zoe Studd - do you think she'd be interested in doing an interview with me?
I’m sure she would be! Email me drsearotmann@gmail.com and I’ll put you two in touch!
