This is how biodiversity loss happens. A wet patch of a field drained. And for what? A bit of marginal grazing in an unprofitable system. Agri-environment schemes count for little when landowners can do such damage (often inside the law) with impunity.
Coillte are making decisions on the future of afforested peatlands based on Yield Class? This is what happens when you allow a semi-state to operate under an outdated commercial mandate. Its time for the State to lead from the front & manage #PublicLand in the public interest

These caulis were planted last summer and some were meant to be fit from Jan to now and beyond. Bad weather meant they did not grow as planned. There was no caulis to be got in recent weeks. Now there is a glut. Along with cheap imports it’s a disaster. It’s a disgrace

The 2022 National Hen Harrier Breeding Survey confirms the ongoing collapse of one of Ireland's most iconic birds. The #HenHarrier population is now 85 - 106 pairs, a decline of 30% since 2015 & of 59% since the first national survey (1998-2000). npws.ie/news/results-2…
And the western academic world is largely silent. What's THIS got to do with hostages? Don't believe the hype. Believe Israeli soldiers when they say they are doing this so there are no more engineers from Gaza. This is an attempted wipeout of an entire people & and culture.

Everyone should listen to this. If you wonder what we are missing from the Irish countryside then this will highlight what has been lost. When people mention sustainable land use- measure it by it's sound. A quiet countryside is a ghost town.

Why is NPWS planting trees in a forest? Where is the difficulty with controlling grazing to allow for natural regeneration? Why does Killarney National Park still have no management plan? Why is there is so little transparency? irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/outd…
Obviously Hamas are awful, but if you put people in a concentration camp, blockade it, and bomb it every so often, what social and political movements do you think will emerge? That’s not a recipe for creating a society with a lot of Lib Dems and a thriving Girl Guiding scene
Goldfinches in Wildflower Meadow We’ve seen a concerted effort by the public to increase native wildflower meadows in recent years, a long disappearing habitat. Such habitat helps sustain the colourful and energetic scenes shown here #rewilding #goldfinch #wildflower #birdart

War crimes by both Hamas and Israel must be condemned for what they are: disgusting outrages against humanity. But refusals to contextualise either fit into a LONG history of justifying racist, supremacist colonial subjugation. Let's look at some examples, particularly Ireland.

Surely in the hierarchy of systems to topple close-to-nature grazing systems are low priority?
It shouldn't be surprising. There is close to zero leadership on biodiversity from Ireland's farm orgs. A few weeks back when an eagle was shot in Roscommon, a crime 99% of farmers would abhor, there was not a single word from any farm org. Not one.
This is how biodiversity loss happens. A wet patch of a field drained. And for what? A bit of marginal grazing in an unprofitable system. Agri-environment schemes count for little when landowners can do such damage (often inside the law) with impunity.
Over the course of a single day we see reports that Israeli occupation forces massacred a convey of international aid workers, bombed the Iranian embassy in Damascus, and executed doctors at Al-Shifa, while inflicting famine on a civilian population. This regime must be stopped.

Everyone in the world needs to see this. Note that this footage permits no room for "it was a mistake," showing repeated, specifically-targeted strikes on the unarmed and even wounded. The sort of behavior the ICJ explicitly forbid in the genocide ruling against Israel.

The Israeli occupation forces completely destroyed both Rafah Museum and Al Qarara Museum in the early weeks of the assault on Gaza, obliterating thousands of priceless artworks and artefacts. But tell me again about your rage over the Balfour painting.
The absolutely desperate shit some of our liberal and left commentators find to talk about so they don’t have to mention the genocide. All kinds of British political trivia is suddenly fascinating.

It's hard to overstate the strategic blunder that is not paying farmers their environmental payments whilst at the same time trying to convince them they have a bright future in nature restoration...
Farm environmental inspections undertaken nationally 2008 - 4200 inspections 2022 - 1000 inspections You wouldn't think that at the very same time our continued participation in a strategically important environmental derogation was on the line.
