- Rewilding, or the full restoration of natural ecosystems, can be one of the most effective and cheapest ways to combat the climate and biodiversity crises. Video: Kathleen Harris
Amazing work! Keep going! Every initiative to rewild the planet, no matter how small is super important and much needed. In my book anybody that plants native trees is a hero. Salute! 🫡🫡🫡
Thank god there are people rewilding Irelands barren landscape.
This is brilliant 😍🤩🙌♥️☺️
Good man! It has been a long time for the Irish people to take responsibility for the land!
Beautiful! Love it! Greetings from north Florida 😊
Wonderful, good on you!
Irish Times very slow on reporting the damage coillte have done .
There has to be a rethink on Ireland's nature and biodiversity, in the southeast here, dairy expansion has sterilized farmland regarding nature habitat, another thing nobody talks about is that we have increased flooding of towns, (Midleton for example) in recent years due to ditches being removed on farms, bogs being drained, and scrubland being reclaimed into large grazing pastures for cows. When we get heavy rainfall the land cannot hold it and our rivers flood more frequently. I do not think the rewilders are right, farmers need to farm and produce food, earn income. Maybe meet the farming community half way in the future, Plant small woodlands on irish farms hold back rainwater, provide habitat for wildlife, sequester carbon. It will not be easy to achieve this in the future, farmers will resist planting forestry, they see forestry as a loss of land,farmers are currently under pressure regarding costs and regulations, environmental restraints will be resisted by farmers, Maybe nothing will be done?
"Climate crisis!" Ya right!
where the hell is Bono
Put in some native oaks , it will speed natures progress toward temperate oceanic rainforest here before we cut it all down .Oak king , Ash Queen .
I see a lot of trees being literally choked to death by ivy and a lot which are already. What good does it planting a bunch of trees but then letting them be killed by overgrowth of ivy. If you have old growth on your property, keep them healthy and alive, don't let them be ruined by not keeping the ivy in check
Hey, that's a common belief that most of us once had. Ivy doesn't choke trees and in fact it helps them resist certain diseases and protects them from things like frostbite. Our trees and ivy have evolved together for thousands of years and are symbiotic. Not parasitic
These are the descendants of warlords who killed someone a thousand years ago. They claimed the land. They want to keep it. Help them.
Nephin has planted 5000 trees over 7 years... a good forester will plant 1000 trees a day. And having farmers receiving CAP payments with their sheep damaging our national parks - What is going on?
To be fair to Nephin. It isn't good for nature to mass plant trees like that, natural regeneration. Foresters plant for timber production, not nature.
Dead right about the CAP though!!
Control China, India, Brazil, Pakistan, Mexico, Russia. Then maybe we should talk. Until then, leave tax payers alone.
