Protect Our Precious
Carbon Sinks: Rewild and Regenerate Scotland's
Peatlands! | | |
Scotland is home
to a beautiful, often overlooked ecosystem of peatlands
in its Highlands. These peatlands function as one of the
world's most impressive carbon
sinks, sequestering as much carbon dioxide
as the Amazon Rainforest. Yet this vital
landscape has been shrinking for almost a
century. Sign now to tell the
Scottish government: the peatlands are invaluable and
must be formally protected!
The Scottish
Rewilding Alliance (SRA) has been working with private
landowners and other environmental organizations to
protect Scotland's vital ecosystems. So far, these
efforts have made tremendous impact. Yet
individual landowners can only do so
much. The Scottish government must
heed the warnings of the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change and take action now to formally protect
its precious peatlands. Sign the petition to protect
these critical peatlands
now! | | |

P.S. Scotland's
peatlands are not only essential for carbon
sequestration. They're also a vital habitat for many
species whose numbers have dwindled in recent decades
due to habitat loss. Sign the
petition. |
