AND The original story of beavers reducing effects of drought Yeah - ecological restoration is good Imagine how many fires in Ireland would have been reduced if our uplands were rewetted and rewilded?

You can talk about beaver reintro but you also need to talk about riprarian planting, floodplain restoration, changes in wider land management and community changes in species I know big things grab attention but its packaged as one stop shop

Rewilding Ireland @rewildingire.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

This is not to say projects such as beaver (re)introduction aren't important to champion but don't be afraid to have nuance in plans and projects

Rewilding Ireland @rewildingire.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Rewilding is a complex, multi phase approach to ecological restoration as is any other form of management Trees, predators & "keystone" species are important but its a large puzzle & they are only a few pieces Rewilding still offers the greatest amount of hope for large scale ecological restoration.

The reduction of ecological restoration to single species stories is harmful as it creates this expectation of instant gratification in non-expert stakeholders and experts. Beavers, wolves, trees - the push for getting them on land and walking away is counterproductive.

Talk to anyone who hunts in Ireland and they will tell you its near limit in terms of numbers culled And this isn't to touch the tricky tricky issue of hunting rights being sold to recreational hunters waiting for that one stag and who is selling them 👀

Finally, the FRS deer management plan is based on voluntary cooperation between very low hunter numbers and farmers who are wary of another scheme so will it work? Only really one HCAP course ran in Midlands so not very welcoming to people in Kerry, Cork, Galway, Donegal where hotshots are. (2/2)

This article sums up everything wrong with deer management atm. -Onus on an understaffed and underfunded NPWS to "fix" the problem. - Soundbite from a politician who would give out if staff taken from tourist role - Highlights one area returns when all of Kerry has high deer impact. And..... (1/2)

Give it a decade or two, and this and many other spots like it in the southwest will be lost to a thick tangle of invasive rhododendron, requiring unimaginable time and energy to remove. Why is this unfolding calamity being ignored by the authorities?

As Groundwork have pointed out - if you told farmers they won't be allowed graze animals on hills in 30 years - uproar from politicians. You tell them rhodo will stop them grazing hills in 30 years - silence from politicians.

0323

Rewilding Ireland @rewildingire.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

Must point out rhodo grows in areas where grazers removed/pressure reduced - this tends to be used as an argument against natural succession and for continuous management, when its not the case.
