Boglands are strongholds of resistance. They often appear in film and literature to introduce complex emotion and test or build character. To love a bog is to love strength that is wild, rugged, and laughs at conformity. Please spread awareness- these special places need our help

A ban would:
👉 Deliver on UK Gov's commitment
👉 Reduce harmful emissions from peat extraction
👉 Protect important wildlife habitat
@RishiSunak, please take this chance to #DefendNature and to help nature’s recovery.

PEAT IN PARLIAMENT 📣
Next week, a bill that seeks to ban peat sales will be introduced to parliament.
Despite @GovUK’s 2022 consultation showing overwhelming support for a ban, their promise to ban peat sales "by 2024" has not been met.

#WorldWetlandsDay - a day to highlight #peatlands and all the hard work of people protecting them!
Africa’s wetlands range from mangroves to peatlands.
The Congo Basin holds the 🌍’s LARGEST peatland - storing 30 billion tonnes of carbon, a habitat for wildlife & manages water.
It’s a disaster if we fail to protect this precious ecosystem. #ActforWetlands #WorldWetlandsDay
Three great ways to connect to peatlands....
especially No. 2!
#WorldWetlandsDay lets us turn the world's attention to our vital wetlands.
Wetlands contribute to our health and well-being by providing clean water, preventing flooding, and being present in wetlands can help out mental health
Here's how you can celebrate this year...👇
Shout out to youth workers in the Netherlands!
We're currently working on a project called Restoration Academy, researching what the state of nature-based edu is in NL.

It's time to establish #RightsofNature in the Irish Constitution. Our relationship with the world should be grounded on the principle of reciprocity, interdependence & respect. Read more from @SadhbhO on growing calls for a right to a clean environment. 👇

1/3 Bog Moss is a Superhero! It can absorb up to 20 times its own weight in water.
Quoting a UK study: “A tiny moorland plant, sphagnum or “bog moss” can dramatically reduce the likelihood and severity of flooding downstream for communities at risk.”

2/3 Dutch water meadows along the River Rhine are already full with winter rain. Here the risk of flooding always looms. Healthy wetlands retain water so re-wetting peatlands gives resilience for climate change impacts.

Very exciting to see all the applications coming in for the Restoration Academy youth advisory board!
We have extended the deadline for Slovakian sign-ups until October 2nd, so please share in your networks. 📢
