peat bogs should be protected because many habitats will be destroyed, global warming will increase and the petrol from the machinery will pollute the atmosphere
Bogs accumulates acidic peat...=)
Peat bogs can continue to accumulate peat as long as the conditions for peat formation persist, such as slow decomposition of organic matter in waterlogged environments. However, if the rate of peat extraction exceeds the rate of peat accumulation, peat bogs can be depleted over time. It's important to manage peat extraction sustainably to prevent running out of peat.
Ireland has a lot of peat bogs, with about one-sixth of the country covered in peatlands. Peat bogs are also commonly found in countries with a cool, wet climate like Finland, Russia, and Canada.

Ireland is known for its peat bogs and potato famine. Peat bogs are common in Ireland, and the country experienced a devastating potato famine in the mid-19th century due to a potato blight, which led to widespread suffering and migration.
Peat occurs in former bogs and swamps. Ireland is famous for its peat.
Peat, from the Irish peat bogs. (Peat is decayed organic material). In Ireland people call it turf.

Peat is composed of vegetable matter, mostly moss and grasses that grow in a bog.
That would be Ireland.
Partially decayed plant matter found in bogs is called peat. Peat forms when organic material accumulates and is not fully decomposed due to waterlogged conditions in bogs, creating an important source of fuel and for ecological processes.
