Perhaps Europe's greatest nature restoration success. In 2002 there were less than 100 Iberian lynx now there are more than 2,000! Farming and rural communities did not vanish as a result, in fact the programme has seen investment of millions of euros in rural areas in this time.

There are some tickets left, grab them before they are gone! We will see you on Thursday, 30th May, Ennistymon. #naturerestoration

#BREAKING : Another North Atlantic right whale has been seen entangled in fishing gear.

Satellite images show the scale of the displacement crisis in Gaza after Israel’s assault on Rafah.

The UN says almost half a million Palestinians have been forced to flee the area in little over a week, in the hope of finding shelter elsewhere.

Shameful of the EU to be challenging this Virginijus Sinkevičius

Darragh O'Brien Malcolm Noonan T.D. — our environment doesn’t respond to hopes, good intentions or promises of tomorrow.

It responds to action.

As the farm orgs dig in with their 'no, no, no' approach to environmental action, here's a farmer in Donegal doing well out nature restoration

Stop whatever you’re doing and take a few minutes to listen to this breathtaking speech by Lauren MacDonald🌻 #StopRosebank telling oil chiefs that, since they have no humanity to appeal to, we will instead fight to stop them destroying our living planet for profit.

Very concerning to read this, especially the bit about prosecutions being thrown out because procedures weren't followed
