Peatlands are an important part of the history, culture and economy of Ireland. The are comparable to rainforests. Manchán Magan notes that TinaClaffeyPhoto's profound engagement with Ireland's peatlands gives us an opportunity to witness its wonders. #WorldPeatlandsDay
Healthy peatlands store carbon and are home to rare plant and animals.
That’s why we’re restoring peatlands to a healthy, natural state. Our Nature for Climate Fund has provided over £33 million to drive nature recovery across 20,000 hectares in England.

'Peatlands are a magical space in between: between land and water, between life and death, between the past, the present, and our future.” - @insidenatgeo Explorer Lujan Agusti. Through her lens, see how peatlands combat climate change. #WorldPeatlandsDay bit.ly/42lPgz2
We have an important message to share this #WorldPeatlandsDay : go peat-free.
We've been stamping out the use of peat from our gardens for over 20 years, as part of our mission to restore our peatlands to healthy, wildlife rich places, and encourage everyone to do the same.
🧵We are set to significantly increase the pace and scale of peatland restoration over the coming years, with a target of repairing 8000ha of peatlands by 2030. That’s roughly the same area as 20,000 football fields!

Peatlands are helping us to understand the pollution by toxic metals that humans were under during the last 9.0000 years
On #WorldPeatlandsDay we encourage you to listen to the 3rd MERLIN podcast on peatland #restoration and #NatureBasedSolutions (like our coordinator does in this picture 😉👍).

A day late for #WorldPeatlandsDay but it's never too late to highlight the deplorable state of British peatlands thanks to driven grouse shooting
Burnt to a crisp, eroding away & totally devoid of peat forming species
The world must look on in horror at how we treat peatlands
