Peatlands would exist with all the species that inhabit them along with wetlands, swamps, bogs and all those in between places that are not just the one thing or another, neither just land or water, but so much more

Where ever peatlands occur through deep time, there are associated cultural contexts and myths and stories that position peatlands a certain way and imbue them with a certain aura, where spirits of the land or water and everything in between reside

I think to use the term 'Western' here is too generalised since peatlands are an ancient presence within Western contexts.  I understand what is intended by the use of the term here, but perhaps it can be qualified to suggest a way of instrumental thinking and valuation that is shaped by Western modernity and framed by profit centred Capitalism

Did really people always live in peatlands without conviviality? I think the separation of peatlands - and the conception of peat itself as a resource to be extracted - was the product of modernity.

To change these notions, we need to see who are using those spaces/landscapes, how and how the place is being shaped through history and these interactions and vice versa.
