Wales continues to exceed its national peatland restoration target, restoring over 3,600 hectares of damaged peatland – the equivalent of more than 3,600 rugby fields – in just five years.

This nature-based climate action is estimated to deliver an emissions saving equal to taking 6,840 cars off the road.

The milestone was achieved through the National Peatland Action Programme (NPAP), funded by Welsh Government and delivered by Natural Resources Wales (NRW), alongside a wide network of local and national partners. Originally set a target of restoring 3,000 hectares by 2025, the Programme has gone 20% beyond that – reaching 3,600 hectares thanks to a fifth-year boost in delivery.
