Wow. Just because I thought something useful could be made of this link, & put up a stub entry.

But aren't carnivorous plants native to peat bogs? I'm behind in reading my International Carnivorous Plant mailing list, so I may be wrong. -- llywrch 00:40 Nov 18, 2002 (UTC)

Yep, added it some detail. Also added a link on carnivorous plant article to Carnivorous Plant society and web ring. I guess you didn't see my comment that I was surprised someone named Llywrch didn't know about the great Llanwrtyd Wells bog snorkelling championships. Ortolan88

Blame my ignorance on the fact I live a few thousand miles away in Portland, Oregon. Most of my knowledge about Peat Bogs come from reading. I'm not sure that the couple of bags of peat moss I use in the garden actually come from bogs. -- llywrch 18:47 Nov 18, 2002 (UTC)

in this page http://www.worldenergy.org/wec-geis/edc/countries/RussianFederation.asp they are talking about a number around 3 million tons per year, far from 90 in the article.

"These industrial uses of peat threaten the continued existence of bogs and thereby biodiversity. More than 90% of the bogs in England have been destroyed." <-- this is a rather heated issue involving many different views. It would be nice if it was re-worked and if it actually showed some sources for the allegations.

this is cool

Looks like http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cumbria/3942167.stm and http://www.rspb.org.uk/ourwork/policy/water/water/peat_bogs/index.asp are where that stat is coming from. (I'll update the article tomorrow -- I don't have time right now, unfortunately.)
