Project Summary:
Covering over a quarter of the Falklands’ land-area, peat-wetland is highly significant for carbon storage, ecosystem function, and the important habitats, fauna and flora it supports. Habitat and soil loss, are ongoing threats to our peat-wetland ecosystems, exacerbated by a lack of knowledge which prevents site-based protection and management for conservation. Descriptions of nationally 'Vulnerable' peat-wetland ecosystems, development of assessment tools for land-managers, and multimedia outputs will inspire and drive protection and management of valuable sites for lasting conservation benefit.
