Summary
Restoring eroded peat soils and tussac grass habitats in the Falkland Islands by planting tussac tillers.Tussac grass forms ‘’the single most important wildlife habitat in the Falklands’’. By re-planting overgrazed coastal stands, we can create pockets of biodiversity and ecosystem integrity. We can supply buffer zones for hydrological cycles to repair, for carbon cycles to kickstart soil microbiology. We can ensure responsible and remedial stewardship of offshore islands for the benefit of its native fauna and future Falkland Islanders
