Bogs develop on lakes formed by glaciers, in landscapes with high rainfalls and poor drainage. Vegetation (e.g. Sphagnum moss) grows around the lake but doesn’t decompose due to waterlogged and acidic conditions. Instead it forms peat which slowly fills the lake. Bogs are able to store carbon, and clean and hold water. They are home to an incredible biodiversity of well-adapted plants and animals. A deep connection links peatlands to the Irish people. Turf has been cut from bogs to heat homes, to provide light, and to cook for over 400 years. Peat is still used nowadays, which has led to the loss of almost half of all the Irish peatland. I became concerned about it during my visit to the Bog of Allen Nature Centre, as I was working with a lot of peat during my internship. Headquartered there, the Irish Peatland Conservation Council wants to conserve a representative sample of the peatlands of Ireland. To achieve this goal they educate the population, strengthen laws, take part in surveys, and set up dams to block drains.

Hi friends,

Today, like every day, I'm working to make money. I am an entrepreneur. I work in a little town. If I worked in a big town, it would be for better money, but the rent in the big town is too expensive. I am glad to work in a small town. I know everybody and everybody knows me. My dog is always with me, and it is glad to be with me too :). When my daughter comes back from school, I like to be here. Bye bye.

The cultivation of this cereal will experience a significant rise in the coming years. The geneticists who have just finished decoding its genome say that this cereal has great drought resistance.
