Scottish #bog gets world heritage status https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cv2gz1p2v12o
After an almost 40-year campaign, a stunning but little-known UK landscape has been awarded world heritage status. The #FlowCountry of Caithness and Sutherland in the far north of #Scotland covers almost 2,000 sq km of one of the most intact and extensive blanket bog systems in the world. Blanket #bogs are wetland ecosystems created when #peat, a #soil made up of partially decayed matter, accumulates in waterlogged conditions.
