Killarney NP: Ireland's largest ancient rainforest, and an international treasure.
But for over 50 years, the *Irish state* has allowed it to die from severe overgrazing.

Did you know there’s an ancient 2000 year old woodland 15mins from Ballycastle with signs of being a temperate rainforest?

In its latest water quality report, the EPA found that the goal of restoring all waters to good status by 2027 will not be achieved. & any improvements are being cancelled out by declines elsewhere. Duncan learns more about the main pressures with @ElaineMcgoff from An Taisce.
Do you know that they intend to level one of the very few beautiful buildings in this city already dying with boring and really bad architecture.
