Scientists and investors are engaged in a race to restore a 23-square-mile tract of critical peatland in North Carolina before it dries up or is destroyed. The restoration effort aims to help curb climate-warming emissions while simultaneously restoring native habitats.
The project area in Belhaven, North Carolina, supports a diverse array of wildlife. Birds such as warblers, flycatchers, sparrows, and towhees inhabit the treetops, while deer browse on emerging buds from dense shrubs and black bears scrounge for roots, insects, and other edibles.
