Description

The watery landscapes of Britain and Ireland’s peatlands are a dominant feature in our countryside. From the blanket bogs of the uplands to the lowland remnants they are among our most important natural assets, but only now are we beginning to appreciate their true value and the vital role they have to play in tackling climate change. In The Peatlands of Britain and Ireland, Clifton Bain has completed a journey around our most spectacular natural areas and unites his vast conservation experience with detailed accounts, maps, and strikingly beautiful imagery. With a selection of the most famous peatland sites ranging across the length and breadth of Britain and Ireland, this book is not only a celebration of conservation effort but also a reliable guide to some of our most remote wilderness, as well as the surprisingly accessible peatlands on our doorsteps.

Author Biography:

Clifton Bain began his career in nature conservation with the RSPB in 1984, having graduated from the University of Aberdeen with an Honours Degree in Zoology. His work gave him the opportunity to study birds and their habitats across the UK and to engage in high level campaigning on climate change and biodiversity. Over the last 10 years he has worked with the IUCN UK Peatland Programme on environmental policy and advocacy to promote the conservation of peatlands. A native of Edinburgh, Clifton lives there with his wife and takes every opportunity to explore nature, particularly in the much-loved Scottish countryside. A keen hill walker and cyclist, he is a passionate believer that encouraging people to enjoy nature for themselves is one of the best tools for conserving wildlife.
