Edward Struzik on the urgent need to restore our peatlands

31 min • 19 november 2021

"If you follow the developments at Glasgow, everyone's looking for the Big Idea. This, in my mind, is an obvious one."

Bertie talks with veteran climate journalist Edward Struzik about his new book, Swamplands: tundra beavers, quaking bogs, and the improbable world of peat. They talk COP, burning peat for energy, the process of rewetting peatland, and Edward gives a cultural & historical background to peatlands, arguing that we still need to change cultural perspectives of our bogs, fens and marshes.
