The founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, is backing a University of Manchester research project through the Bezos Earth Fund Greenhouse Gas Removal Ideation Prize. This will help the team to research the best way to restore Sphagnum moss in peatlands across the UK and within wider northern Europe.
We’re proud to be working with our partners at the University of Manchester, helping to supply different species of Sphagnum for their research.
The importance of this research project cannot be understated. Sphagnum moss is vital to the environment. It sequesters carbon, supports biodiversity and is a highly absorbent plant that can reduce the risk of flooding and drought. In short, Sphagnum moss is an eco-hero.
