    "Raised bogs are our Amazon" As the peat harvesting industry comes to an end, what will happen to our bogs? Clár faoi dheireadh ré agus faoi Éire atá ag athrú.

    A tadpole is the baby or larval stage of a frog. The tadpole goes through changes and develops limbs to become a frog. The common frog is a protected species in Ireland. Submit your sightings to IPCC by following the link

    (10/10) The Beauty of Bogs 💦🌦️🐸🕸️🌾🌈 After a year teasing out the quiet stories & sights from Irish peatlands, I found so many reasons to ♥️ bogs. And thanks to , a conservation project restoring 12 Irish bogs, I have the button to show it.

    (9/10) The Beauty of Bogs 💦🌦️🐸🕸️🌾🌈 Bogs aren't a charismatic landscape. Their special features can be hard to see at first. E.g. there are many beautiful moth & butterfly species flitting around these wetlands, but chasing them down for a photo is tricky!

    (8/10) The Beauty of Bogs 💦🌦️🐸🕸️🌾🌈 Bogs are a type of peatland, which cover 3% of land globally & hold more carbon than all forests combined. Scientists use instruments like this "flux tower" in Clara Bog, Ireland to track a bog's CO2 intake and output.

    (7/10) The Beauty of Bogs 💦🌦️🐸🕸️🌾🌈 Many Irish bogs are wetlands which are no longer wet. Drain systems enable other uses like peat extraction for turf. As a fuel, turf releases more CO2 than coal and, in Ireland, drained bogs emit more CO2 than cars.

    (6/10) The Beauty of Bogs 💦🌦️🐸🕸️🌾🌈 The big picture is also crucial. More than 85% of Irish bogs are in degraded condition. I found this tiny island of peat soil in a destroyed bog just south of Tullamore, Co. Offaly where turf is a common household fuel.

    (5/10) The Beauty of Bogs 💦🌦️🐸🕸️🌾🌈 Taking time to look at the small things in a bog, like tiny lichens or a discarded feather, gave me insight into the specialized, complex, and easy-to-miss ecosystem thriving in saturated, acidic bog conditions.

    (4/10) The Beauty of Bogs 💦🌦️🐸🕸️🌾🌈 Hiking in a bog is invigorating and fun. The sight of a meandering boardwalk sparks a sense of adventure. This mountaintop bog boardwalk led me through Slieve Bloom Nature Reserve's blanket bog in Co. Laois, Ireland.

    (3/10) The Beauty of Bogs 💦🌦️🐸🕸️🌾🌈 Plants like wild cranberries and carnivorous sundews add pops of color to the bog-scape as well. I found this bright cranberry resting in a circle of sundews at Clara Bog Nature Reserve in Co. Offaly, Ireland.

    (2/10) The Beauty of Bogs 💦🌦️🐸🕸️🌾🌈 One of the most colorful parts of a bog is under your feet. For Sphagnum moss, a key wetland plant called the builder of bogs, green is only the beginning. I collected this bouquet in Ox Mountains Bogs SAC, Co. Sligo.

    On 2nd Feb, come out to the fabulous and very, very wet Scragh Bog outside Mullingar for a (board)walk and talk I'll be leading at 2pm. If that doesn't suit, check out for an event near you.

    We cannot hide from the fact that we're in a crisis. We have to act now. All of us. We have to change our minds and change our ways. And if we do... the planet will continue to be the most beautiful place in our universe. 💚
