Peatland Legacy (Saving Ireland’s Peatlands) EE17 EP4

#Peatlands #Turf #Biodiversity #EE17EP4
Ecologist Anja Murray follows a new generation of young people trying to save Ireland's peatlands. From 15 moth expert Tim Sullivan to three young scientists from the midlands, all want to protect our bogs and pass on a better legacy than the one that was left to them.

Great information

[@thesilentmothtrapper4373]

Very nice.

[@Jerbod2]

Great video. Hope you guys restore the habitat for peat bogs. Whether a bog is 5 meters deep or 10 centimeters probably doesn't really matter for the biodiversity, as deep down in a bog there's no life at all - right?

[@noelogara1]

this video is educational and instructive.

[@matisskozlovs8548]

How much methane gas does natural peat bogs release annually?

[@kamaz21ural17]

Tat moment when you realize they are telling lies!!! True stories.

[@oliverboyle2038]

So turf is renewable?

[@manc66]

Wind farms encroaching as well, damage to biodiversity?

[@nialllyons94]

Do "cut away" bogs and scrubland have any protection in ireland or can farmers just continue to drain, "reclaim" and convert to grassland as theyre doing all over the country ?

"1400 species of moss ... Some in specific habitats like Irish Peatlands"

[@jopjop5533]

Only for peat bogs thousands in irelands would be living in fuel poverty and thats today in 2023 1000 litres of oil hit 1800 euro last winter.

[@irishcountryman4866]

Nothing better than the smell of a turf fire 🔥

[@thebigfatnick]

grow trees where the damage has already been done to have a regenarative fuel resource which cleans carbon emitions as it grows.

Sad to see that this is one way discussion and nobody acknowledges that peat is renewable resource
