The peatland 'nurseries' of Peru give new insights for conservation

New research from the University of St Andrews has shown that an important group of peatlands in the western Amazonia region of Peru developed more recently than many other peatlands in the tropics.

This is the largest known peatland complex in Amazonia, covering an area about the size of Belgium.

Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie in Wilmington, Illinois

The sky at Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie feels enormous, a vista unlike any other. About an hour southwest of Chicago, on land that once housed the Joliet Army Ammunition Plant, Midewin  was the first national tallgrass prairie in the United States. It was established in 1996 after the Army transferred the land to the U.S. Forest Service. During World War II and the Cold War, this expanse produced and stored munitions. After the plant was decommissioned, local advocates, conservation groups, and federal agencies pushed to restore the site to its original ecosystem. The result is a vast patchwork of recovering prairie, wetlands, and oak savanna spread across roughly 20,000 acres in Will County, Illinois. Tallgrass prairie once covered an estimated 170 million acres of North America. Today, less than one percent remains, making restoration here both symbolic and urgent. The Forest Service and partner organizations use prescribed burns and native seed plantings to rebuild the intrica
