This report describes the steps taken to produce Atlases of the distribution and stores of below-ground Carbon in the peatlands of Sumatra and Kalimantan. This report is intended to be read in conjunction with the Atlases produced and is incomplete without it. Readers are therefore strongly advised to read both documents. The titles of these atlases are :

  • Wetlands International. 2003. Peta-peta sebaran lahan gambut, luas dan simpanan/kandungan karbon di Sumatra (Maps of peatland distribution and carbon content in Sumatra), 1990-2002.
  • Wetlands International. 2004. Peta-peta sebaran lahan gambut, luas dan simpanan/kandungan karbon di Kalimantan (Maps of peatland distribution and carbon content in Kalimantan), 2000-2002.
