Help stop all developments on peat lands in Wales - sign the petition! petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/24...

Petition: Stop all developments on peatlands across Wales!
Peatlands in Wales provide important carbon storage, they store 30% of our land-based carbon. They are essential for our survival: healthy peatlands sequester more carbon than all the world's forests combined. They also provide crucial habitat for plants, animals, birds and insects, and help prevent flooding in the face of increasingly erratic weather. Peatland cannot be moved or recreated; once fragmented or destroyed it's lost.

An interesting article on the recent fires in the Elan Valley and how peatland restoration seemed to help stop the spread of flames. www.cambrian-news.co.uk/news/elan-va...

Heddiw rydym yn dechrau pennod newydd: Cymru Wyllt / Wild Cymru. Rydym yn credu y gall Cymru fod yn wilder — yn ei thirweddau, ei bywyd gwyllt a’i hysbryd. Nid enw newydd yn unig yw hwn, ond ein gweledigaeth ar gyfer adfer natur. Beth mae Cymru wyllt yn ei olygu i chi? #CymruWyllt

Very atmospheric (c.f. rainy) day out in the Rhondda doing water vole surveys for Lost Peatlands sites at Mynyndd Ton and then Cwmparc. Great to have @inccymru.bsky.social with us as well for the day. Been a while since I’ve been in the Cwm and it’s fantastic, despite the razor sharp tussock sedge
Two surveyors in a greater tussock sedge filled fen feature at Cwmparc, RhonddaSpot the water vole droppings (they’re next to the target)

Aren't Water Voles wonderful. This Water Vole was filmed going about its business on the River Thaw in South Wales. They were reintroduced to the river last year, after a 20 year absence. Surveys this year suggests that the population is doing well and the Water Vole are exploring new habitats.
