This is a must listen for anyone interested in the Nature Restoration Law, and the ongoing arguments for and against.

Nature is dying!💀

We must restore it.🌱

We need an ambitious EU Nature Restoration Law.

However, @FineGael, @fiannafailparty and @sinnfeinireland are killing the law.

I got very wet today in Glengarriff Woods, but it was totally worth it.

One of the best times to experience temperate rainforest is... in the rain!

Dreadful news for marine life in coastal waters as the courts once again overturn a ban on trawling due to a technicality. This was to have come into effect three years ago but pair trawling and other destruction continues.

"I go out fishing most days during summer, when the weather’s fine. I go out on my wooden currach made locally in Leitir Mealláin to catch mackerel and pollack. I don’t take anybody with me any more though, there’s no fish left"
