Global wetlands are disappearing 3X faster than forests, source: @RamsarConv. That's why we are restoring precious peatlands, to redress the balance of nature & capture carbon. On #WorldWetlandsDay here's our Western Isles project👇 👀 #ActForWetlands @PeatlandACTION @nature_scot

Today is #WorldWetlandsDay! Peatland is an important global carbon sink, vital for the fragile balance of nature. We're helping repair eroded peatland across Scotland, restoring peatbogs which capture & store carbon. See how we do it #ActForWetlands @PeatlandACTION @nature_scot

What better than to start this New Year with a #PeatlandPositive story 💚 @ERI_UHI @ThinkUHI @UoNEngineering @motion_terra @nature_scot @ForestryLS #BogBreathing #RestoringScotlandsPeatlands theguardian.com/environment/20…
