Carbon Capture - Flow Country

This game raises awareness of the importance of carbon storage in peatland.

Healthy peatlands store carbon and help in the fight against global warming.

People are working to restore and protect the Flow Country peatlands by removing tree plantations that dry out peat bogs, blocking drains to restore the water levels, protecting wildlife, and considering wind farm locations.

Become a peatland manager and see what it takes to store as much carbon as possible and protect the peatlands. Each game lasts 8 minutes and there are three levels of difficulty to choose from.

This application has been created as part of the Flows to the Future project, a Peatlands Partnership initiative in The Flow Country, an area of deep peat, dotted with bog pools, that lies in the heart of Caithness and Sutherland. The Flow Country is the best blanket bog of its type in the world and it is important not only for the habitats and the species that live there, but also as a vast carbon store which contributes to the global fight against climate change.

The application has been developed by Peel interactive and we are grateful for the support of many individuals and organisations who have given time and expertise to aid development.
