Resumen
Descripción
A swamp jelutung plantation offers a sustainable alternative to commodities that require drainage (such as oil palm or Hevea rubber), as naturally wet peat does not oxidise. Also, drained peatland will in many cases end up becoming (semi-) permanently flooded and is not a long-term option, while undrained (or rewetted) peatland with swamp jelutung will remain operational in the long-term.
