The IUCN UK Peatland Programme exists to promote peatland restoration in the UK and advocates the multiple benefits of peatlands through partnerships, strong science, sound policy and effective practice.
Our vision is one of healthy, wildlife-rich peatlands in the UK that provide multiple benefits for people. We want peatlands in the UK to function to their full potential and to ensure that there is no further loss of peatland ecosystems, providing cost-effective solutions for climate change, water and biodiversity. Investment in peatland restoration is needed now, securing the benefits they provide and avoiding the costly consequences of their deterioration.
