Peatland Resources

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. The resources created by our partnership help us to do this and are freely available to use. Some publications are available in hardcopy.
