New publication: Tracks and roads on peatlands

The IUCN UK Peatland Programme are pleased to publish our latest brief focusing on the impacts of tracks and roads on peatlands.

The IUCN UK Peatland Programme are pleased to publish our latest brief focusing on the impacts of tracks and roads on peatlands. Since we last published a brief on this subject in 2016, there has been a significant increase in the amount of research generated on the topic globally. We synthesised that research into our technical brief designed for policy and decision makers in the peatland community. We discuss where and why tracks are utilised, and consider what the issues associated with their usage are.
