Absolutely, David and as with all expertise the 'skill' actually sits in the tacit knowledge gained over many years of application across multiple contexts. Knowing when to use, adapt and combine many different types of tools.

Peatlands cover just 3–4% of Earth's land, yet they store twice the carbon of all the world's forests combined. Protecting peatlands is rated an Emergency Brake climate solution, one of the fastest-acting tools we have.
