PEAT is a transdisciplinary research project co-led by the University of Western Australia (UWA) and Edith Cowan University (ECU) and guided by Elders. It is a collaboration between academic and community-based scientists, managers, and volunteers, including the Undalup Association, the Department of Biodiversity, Conversation and Attractions, the Western Australian Museum and the Walpole-Nornalup National Park Association. Over five years (2023-2027), the research project aims to greatly increase knowledge of the geodiversity and biodiversity of peatland ecosystems in the Walpole Wilderness Area, while collaboratively designing future management approaches.
