The Scots pines in the mountains around stage 18 of #tdf2024 are home to the Spanish Moon Moth, which has a more beautiful name in French - "Le papillon Isabelle". It has been brought back from the brink in this region...

#Galway #Salthill has sand dunes on its doorstep at Grattan Beach. A fine amenity but blowing sand inconvenient for nearby houses. Changes brought about in a month by fencing have to be seen to be believed. A wild-life garden has appeared out of noplace @ILikeDunes @sandlarks

[Hannah Daly @HannahEDaly]

Expanding Irish airport capacity by 25% would cause an increase in emissions of approx. three quarters of a million tonnes of CO2, equivalent to adding ~290k fossil fuelled cars onto the roads.

It's equivalent to the GHGs avoided by ~20% of the wind energy already installed.
