Peat bogs cover less than one tenth of their original area in the UK mainly as a result of their extraction for garden compost. Yet they are a haven for a vast diversity of wildlife and a source of new potential for scientists because they are thousands of years old they contain layers of information about our past environment. Peat bogs store and absorb carbon dioxide, when they are exploited this is released. Don't buy peat based compost and ask your garden centre to stock a non-peat based compost.
