Given the amount of road upgrades being done, the need for water infrastructure upgrades and the rollout of broadband - it would be a no trainer you would think

One of the main issue with nature in Ireland is it is only viewed through the lens of production. "Money should be spent on agricultural habitats because we are an agricultural landscape" is repeatedly used as an excuse for bad science and poor policy.

So if regular fauna do it, altering "fire regimes" What would below have done? I did a quick look at literature before asking this

A lot of conversations I hear are about integrating production and nature into woodlands. We have fuck all woodlands for nature, in Europe and especially in Ireland!

A lot of the problems in this world stem from men not being told their idea is dumb and bad Commercial Plantations on Deep Peatland; stupid. Increased emissions, extremely low productivity, destroyed biodiversity. Dumb and bad

It boggles the mind as to what the reasoning is here for attempting planting in dry May weather. Survival rate alone must make this a financial loss?

species.biodiversityireland.ie/profile.php?... Have a look at this to explain! Different species to our native bluebells with impact to pollinators (IIRC)

Bluesky seems quiet in terms of Irish Nature Share your photos you've taken this spring here's a lovely example of deadwood in a oak woodland in west of country!

CO for 7130 Blanket Bogs (*if active bog) on Mount Brandon showing target grazing levels. disturbance etc and limit to woody vegetation (which may be Annex 1 Bog Woodland if allowed grow) Given other designations intermixed such as heath, nardus grassland etc don't see how zero grazing acheived

Temperate rainforest is a globally scarce and rare habitat. Only 1.6% of the Burren is classed as mature established Hazel "scrub", which is rare Hazel rainforest. A further 11.7% was classed as immature "encroaching hazel scrub", which is/will be rare Hazel rainforest. (1/2)

I am excluding known examples like Dark Hedges Ireland's propensitude to giving money to men with machines & lack of recognition/protection (especially in past) combined with ash dieback mean trees are an afterthought

All smiles and a goofy photoshoot - what a hoot. Will it be the same sending your children off to a war to die or return home in pieces to freeze because they can't afford heat and food?

Aware of limitations of map making & get you are coming at it from social/human aspect which has been ignored widely in past (still in some areas) - there is an important ecology element to this which you are not engaging with Social/Human views can change over our lifetime, rules of nature won't
Map of the seven study sites across Europe and their corresponding changes in rewilding score over time. The underlying base map represents the ecological integrity measured at the European scale for the year 2012 (the average baseline year for the sites), and assessed using the same underlying rewilding framework from Torres et al. (2018) (base map credit: Fernández et al. 2020). The study sites are measured using the rewilding score which integrates ecological integrity (x-axis) and human forcing (y-axis), whereas the base map comprises just ecological integrity. For each site, the baseline rewilding score is depicted by the filled circle and the current rewilding score is depicted by the empty circle.
From Expert-based assessment of rewilding indicates progress at site-level, yet challenges for upscaling

The cowman who cleans his range of wolves does not realize that he is taking over the wolfs job of trimming the herd to fit the range. He has not learned to think like a mountain. Hence we have dustbowls & rivers washing the future into the sea.

And I am convinced that the plastic foolishness is another step towards making the island a green lawn, sterile and devoid of true nature, while convincing the next generation it's the height of wildness! Maybe someone needs to start a campaign to counteract it www.etsy.com/market/worsh...

Perceived portals to other places should not be cheap plastic diaromas a foot off a maintained path but old gnarled trees deep in ancient woods, where unexplained noises out of sight make you feel on edge.

Would highly recommend everyone to read Leopold - a viewpoint eons ahead of its time.
