Effect of canal blocking on biodiversity of degraded peatlands: Insight from West Kalimantan

PLOS One | https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0334014 October 8, 2025 17 / 23 With environmental deterioration from many aspects, restoration projects need to be implemented hand in hand [105]. On the rewetting sites, vegetation planting needs to incorporate local communities into action. This makes sense not only in terms of effective funding but also by providing benefits for the community, such as allowing them to select local trees that potentially increase their well-being through non-timber forest products or adopting responsible sustainable logging practices [105,123–125]. Involving local champions in building local nurseries for peatland revegetation and decision- making in peatland restoration projects can also increase the chance of disturbed wet shrub recovery. After all, the pres- ence of tree vegetation in the area can reduce the severity level of fire impacts, thus preventing the global hazard caused by massive landscape fire [118,126].
