UK HABITAT LOSS. “An estimated 80% of all the UK’s lowland heathland has been lost since 1800. 94% of Britain’s lowland raised mires…were destroyed between 1800 and 1978. Most of those remaining have been damaged. 44% of Scotland’s internationally important blanket peat bog was lost to afforestation and drainage from the 1940s to the 1980s.”
