Nutrients could remain in Lough Neagh for 40 yrs

'If we don't reduce the nutrients coming in from the catchment it will take even longer because the sediment will be replenished with phosphorus'

Nature is the foundation our society and economy are built upon. The destruction of nature is the destruction of our future. Ursula von der Leyen please increase diplomatic efforts to seal the deal! #RestoreNature politico.eu/article/eu-urs…

Jennifer Whitmore TD has called for the remits of Coillte and Bord na Móna to be changed to make biodiversity a key component #PublicLand #RestoreNature agriland.ie/farming-news/t…

As ever, the devil will be in the detail, but it's great to get a better idea of what's planned for Ireland's newest national park.

The potential here is huge.

“From a cyclist’s point of view, I’ve never seen such level of aggression towards us... If a rabbit or cat jumped out, you’d stop, but it seems some people are willing to go through cyclists. It’s like we’re not human..'

Wow, this is stunning.

A reminder for today's #EarthDay

Nature is our best insurance against floods, droughts, wildfires & heatwaves

The upcoming #RestoreNature Law will strengthen our rivers, forests & marine habitats to help protect us from climate change

Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU 2024 EU Council seal the deal!

This #EarthDay , we wanted to celebrate the Nature Restoration Law but 🇪🇺 governments failed to adopt it 🤷‍♀️

There was a deal. There are citizens, businesses, scientists & many more calling for the #RestoreNature law

EU Council what happened to democratic decision-making?

We not only need to protect nature, we also need to #RestoreNature !

Many ecosystems – the basis of our natural wealth and #wellbeing – are broken. The #NatureRestorationLaw offers a historical opportunity to recover them🌎

EU Council, what are you waiting for?

☔️Devastating floods
🥀Water shortages
🔥Life-threatening wildfires

Creating new National Parks is the kind of ambition we need to #RestoreNature . Well done Malcolm Noonan T.D. National Parks and Wildlife Service

A little something I wrote from the heart for #EarthDay2024 .

A plague foretold. And - incredibly - the state forester continues to replace monocultures with yet more monocultures while our new Forest Strategy dishes out subsidies to yet more monocultures on private land

Outrageous behaviour by Belgian PM who is betraying his country's role as Council presidency.
Anti nature. Anti EU. Anti democracy.
But pro intensive farm lobby.

🎯Now you're talking!

We’re in the midst of a #ClimateCrisis and a joint inactivity and obesity epidemic.

We need to be building activity into children’s daily lives, not remove every inch of it.

This is yet another example of why the RSA Ireland are not fit for purpose.
