       the ?BOGLAND project? was funded as a 4-year ?sustainable 
       development? project by the National Development Plan 
       through the Environmental Research Technological 
       Development and Innovation (ERTDI) research programme. Its
       overall objective was to develop guidance in the 
       development of strategies for the sustainable future 
       management of peatlands in Ireland. To this effect, this 
       report aims to provide a synthesis of knowledge on this 
       key natural resource, the important functions and roles 
       that peatland ecosystems perform, their various 
       utilisation, and how attitudes and policies affect them. 
       This report presents recommendations on the development 
       and the planning of peatland management that could be used
       as an information source in drafting laws and regulations 
       and ultimately a peatland policy for Ireland. Finally, but
       not least, it is hoped that this report can communicate 
       the reality of Irish peatlands to the public and Irish 
       Government as well as academia in a clear and unambiguous 
       fashion. his work built on the considerable body of 
       existing information on vascular plant communities and 
       macro- fauna (birds) of Irish peatlands...." -- Website.
