The most important plant in the world is the first in a series of short films commissioned by the IUCN UK Peatland Programme under the collective title Sphagnum Portraits. This series brings together the work of individuals, environmental charities, and community groups whose ambitious projects highlight the vital role of peatlands and actively contribute to the restoration of damaged sites across the UK. Through film, the series aims to deepen public understanding of peatland ecosystems while celebrating the dedication and ingenuity of those working to protect them.
The film premiered at the IUCN UK Peatland Programme’s Peatlands, People, and Nature conference in Aviemore in September 2024. It focuses on a collaboration between the Moors for the Future Partnership and BeadaMoss, a family-run nursery based in the East Midlands, to reintroduce Sphagnum moss to a peatland site in the Peak District. This particular site was severely damaged by a wildfire in 2018, leaving the landscape vulnerable to erosion, carbon loss, and biodiversity decline.
