Our mission in life: Moorland protection now!
Peatlands are in danger worldwide. They are destroyed for agriculture, forestry or other economic purposes. We defend the healthy moors and work with our partnerships to restore what has already been destroyed.

“With our non-profit organization, we are committed to ensuring that moors can once again provide an earth worth living on in the future.”

Rethinking moors: our plan
Why are moors protected so little compared to forests? This is often due to a poor image. Many people associate bogs with bad smells, creepy myths, cunning midges, danger and, in the worst case, bog bodies. Yet moors are magical ecosystems with superpowers.
