An Irish bog
An Irish bog
Peatlands, together with their unique collection of plants and animals, are a seriously endangered European habitat. Ireland is among the last countries in Europe where a wide range of peatlands still exist in their natural state. Peatlands originally covered 17% of the land surface of Ireland, a higher proportion than any other European country, with the exception of Finland. Today less than one quarter of the original peatland area remains in an intact condition. Conservationists predict that if exploitation continues on deeper peat of the midland raised bogs, these will be the first bogs to disappear in this century. Blanket bogs, especially in the West of Ireland, are also under increasing threat.

ENFO, Ireland's public environmental and sustainable development information service, produced this poster to encourage people to increase and continue recycling. And Ireland are doing well at recycling - in 2007 Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (Weee) Ireland reported that 9kg of electronic waste per person was collected and recycled – over double the annual 4kg target set for Ireland by the EU.
