”When our rewilding program started, many big corporations offered us huge amounts of money if we certified carbon credits. We consulted with communities. But our answer was that we don’t sell nature.”

"By working closely with farmers and graziers we can ensure that they can continue to graze the land. Sustainable grazing benefits the peatland as it helps to keep it healthy by preventing any one species from dominating."

Bog Story by Chad Alexander
‘Peatlands are also natural time capsules. Their waterlogged, oxygen-starved, and highly acidic environments preserve organic material in extraordinary detail, capturing traces of human history, mythology, and cultural memory. Growing at just one millimetre per year, each metre of peat stores a millennium of the past.'

Bog Story by Chad Alexander
‘Over 80% of Northern Ireland’s peatlands are either damaged or in poor condition, transforming them from vital carbon sinks into carbon emitters. This ecological unravelling threatens not only the climate, but also the richly diverse habitats they sustain, including those of endangered species.'

#Scotland’s endangered #wildcats could be saved in massive 800 sq mile #Highland #rewilding plan
The new Affric Highlands charity has set out ambitious plans to restore nature and wildlife over a sweeping area from #LochNess to the west coast.
Dan Vevers Sunday Mail Chief Reporter
08 May 2025"Scotland's #endangered wildcats could be saved as part of a massive 800-square-mile rewilding plan across the Highlands. The new Affric Highlands charity has set out ambitious plans to regenerate native #woodland, #peatland and #riverside habitats and boost endangered species like wildcats, covering a sweeping stretch of the country from Loch Ness to the west coast.
"The group said it will work with local landowners to boost the local economy and make the region a hub for sustainable timber, fishing, farming, venison and wildlife tourism. Affric Highlands - whose emblem is a wildcat, also known as the '#HighlandTiger' - vowed to see the iconic animal flourish as it takes on the huge 30-year project."

#Wildlife trust buys massive £17.5m #Highland estate
March 3, 2025
"A conservation charity has bought an 18,824-acre (7,618ha) Highland estate for £17.5m after receiving a large private donation.
"Scottish Wildlife Trust (#SWT) plans to regenerate native woodland, restore #peatland and carry out nature-friendly farming on #InverbroomEstate.
"The area of land near Ullapool, in the north west Highlands, is larger than the city of Dundee.
"The donation that made the purchase possible was the largest in the trust's 60-year history."

Thanks to @cabinradio for this story. "The #NWT has some giant #carbon sinks – places within the landscape that lock up carbon like the #borealforest, #peatland and #permafrost. How we keep the carbon in those sinks is a big and increasingly important question, not just for the territory but for humanity as a whole." https://cabinradio.ca/220349/news/environment/wildfires/how-do-we-keep-the-nwts-huge-carbon-stores-out-of-the-air/

"they alter the density of their leaf tentacles and the uptake of nitrogen from prey to thrive in different #microhabitats, such as mounds and hollows, within #peatland #ecosystems... #plants invest more in carnivorous traits, when nutrients from the #soil are limited and light availability is high"
