Peatlands should serve as a solution to climate issues, but excessive exploitation could turn them into a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment. The consequences are severe, ranging from forest and land fires (karhutla) and transboundary haze to real social and economic problems that threaten human well-being.

Istilah gambut mungkin masih terdengar asing bagi sejumlah kalangan, khususnya bagi mereka yang tinggal tidak berdekatan dengan lahan tersebut. Padahal, jenis lahan ini sudah santer dibicarakan sejak tahun 1972-1987 saat Presiden Soeharto menetapkan Program Nasional Transmigrasi di Kalimantan dan Sumatra. Penamaan gambut sendiri berasal dari bahasa Banjar di Kalimantan Selatan dan mulai masuk dalam kosa kata Bahasa Indonesia pada tahun 1970-an.
