Peatlands are powerful. Here are just a few reasons why… 1. Peatland vegetation slows the flow of rainfall which helps reduce the risk of flooding in nearby towns and villages. Peatlands only cover around 3% of the world's surface but contains more carbon than all the world's rainforests.

Annual leave = balm for the soul as it described in German.

Digital drawing showing a big blue sky with some white fluffy clouds and a hint of sun glare in the top left corner. Underneath, the sea with a ship wreck in the foreground, in the background a modern container ship, an oil rig and an offshore wind farm. The sea has tones of blue in the background, green in the middle and increasingly sandy colour
towards the foreground.
