With a total area of 143,503 hectares, it is one of the largest recognised conservation sites in the UK, and is the largest Ramsar Site in Scotland.[2] The area includes a wide variety of vegetation, and supports a diverse range of breeding waterfowl, including internationally important populations of greylag goose and dunlin, and nationally important populations of ten other waterfowl species. It is also important for several rare and scarce species of moss.[3] Caithness and Sutherland Peatlands has been recognised as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention[2], and has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest, a Special Protection Area and a Special Area of Conservation.[4][1][5] 154 km2 of the area is also designated as the Forsinard Flows national nature reserve.[6] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://sitelink.nature.scot/site/8476|title=Caithness and Sutherland Peatlands SPA|publisher=Scottish Natural Heritage|accessdate=2019-01-31}} {{Scotland-SSSI-stub}}2. ^1 {{Cite web|title=Caithness & Sutherland Peatlands|website=Ramsar Sites Information Service|url=https://rsis.ramsar.org/ris/971|accessdate=28 January 2019}} 3. ^{{Cite web|title=UK Caithness and Sutherland Peatlands 13003 RIS 2005|website=Ramsar Sites Information Service|url=https://rsis.ramsar.org/RISapp/files/RISrep/GB971RIS.pdf|accessdate=28 January 2019}} 4. ^{{Cite web|title=Caithness and Sutherland Peatlands|website=Joint Nature Conservation Committee|url=http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/pdf/SPA/UK9001151.pdf|accessdate=28 January 2019}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://sitelink.nature.scot/site/8218|title=Caithness and Sutherland Peatlands SAC|publisher=Scottish Natural Heritage|accessdate=2019-01-31}} 6. ^{{cite web| url=https://sitelink.nature.scot/site/10526|title=Forsinard Flows National Nature Reserve| publisher=Scottish Natural Heritage|accessdate=2019-01-29}} 3 : Ramsar sites in Scotland|Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Caithness|Wetlands of Scotland |
