Peatlands = biodiversity powerhouses. 🌍💚 From Arctic mosses to tropical swamp forests, they host rare & vital species, regulate water & carbon, and support life globally. But they’re under threat. Protect peatlands, protect our future. 🌿

Busy Saturday at the @rspbscotland.bsky.social Forsinard Flows-we had 12 photos come through as part of the Tracking the Colour of Peatlands citizen science project.
Very useful when multiple people send photos from different phones on same day - can use it to calibrate the analysis

Nice video from INCC on 10 years of water vole discovery in the Glamorgan uplands including on several peatland restoration sites. The water vole response to our restoration works at Castell Nos was a key success for us and excited to see what Rob and team learn in the next 10 years
Today, the Glamorgan Uplands, above the Rhondda and Afan Valleys are one of the most important landscapes for Water Voles in Wales. Up until 2014 however, we had no idea they were even there. Hopefully there are still populations of Water Voles and other species yet to be discovered in Wales.
