The Life Tourbières programme This programme aims to restore the natural functioning of peat bogs across a large part of the Jura Mountains. There are currently 412 peatlands covering approximately 4,000 ha across the Jura Mountains (64 in Switzerland, 100 in the Ain, and 248 in the Doubs and Jura departments). The major importance of these habitats for biodiversity is now well established. They play multiple roles, particularly in the water cycle. You too can help to preserve peatlands and these exceptional natural sites: - stay on the designated walking trails, - take your rubbish with you - do not camp or pitch a tent in the wild For the conservation of these sensitive natural areas, which are essential to life on our planet.
