Description
7 years to continue repairing the peatlands -
Building on the experience gained during the LIFE Jura peatlands program, which ran from 2014 to 2021, the new LIFE Climat programme for peatlands in the Jura, which will run for seven years, is even more ambitious. It mobilises significant resources to reduce greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the degradation of the peatlands in the Jura region.

70 peatlands to be rehabilitated ;
500 ha and 60 municipalities concerned ;
27 ha of former extraction areas to be regenerated ;
18 km of watercourses to be restored ;
36 km of drainage ditches to be neutralized ;
