This expansive peatland, rich in deep peat and dotted with bog pools, is crucial in wildlife habitat and climate change mitigation. Peat, composed of plant remains stores significant amounts of carbon that would otherwise contribute to global warming if released into the atmosphere. However, the area has faced historical damage due to large-scale drainage and afforestation during the 1970s and 1980s, which degraded the peatland, releasing stored carbon and disrupting ecosystems. In 2019, a wildfire further impacted the area, affecting the most degraded zones and threatening the peatland’s delicate balance. Date Submitted Date of submission of the resource.
