Tero Mustonen's 2023 Goldman Environmental Prize Acceptance Speech

Tero Mustonen accepts the 2023 Goldman Environmental Prize for Europe
Since April 2018, Tero Mustonen led the restoration of 62 severely degraded former industrial peat mining and forestry sites throughout Finland-totaling 86,000 acres-and transformed them into productive, biodiverse wetlands and habitats. Rich in organic matter, peatlands are highly effective carbon sinks; according to the IUCN, peatlands are the largest natural carbon stores on Earth. Roughly one-third of Finland’s surface area is made up of peatlands.
