To celebrate World Wetlands Day today (Tuesday 2 February 2021), this video showcases Cors Caron National Nature Reserve and its three raised bog domes. 

Wetlands like Cors Caron are very rare, its three raised bog domes are world famous and are areas of deep peat built up over the last 12,000 years. The raised bog also helps in the fight against climate change by helping to store and purify water amongst other things. 

This video also shows how raised bogs are created and why they are so special and important to the environment, wildlife and people.
