Dragon Deborah: We must protect our treasured peat bogs from more destruction

The entrepreneur, who says "nature has always been close to my heart", spoke out against the threats facing the wetland ecosystems.

Deborah, 65, said: "Wet and boggy is no longer the best description for the majority of UK peatlands, with around 80% now damaged and deteriorating.

"The burning of peatland, draining of bogs and planting of commercial forestry have all taken a toll on what should be one of our most prized national treasures."

Peatlands, also known as peat bog, are a special type of wetland covering 2.7 million hectares of the UK.
