Time and time again, I see NPWS submissions and reports ignored & overlooked

Take a look at their submissions for development/forestry - there is no real desire to give NPWS the power it should have

This article sums up everything wrong with deer management atm.

-Onus on an understaffed and underfunded NPWS to "fix" the problem.
- Soundbite from a politician who would give out if staff taken from tourist role
- Highlights one area returns when all of Kerry has high deer impact.

And..... (1/2)

The same week in which the Nitrates Derogation was pushed through.

This Government doesn't care for nature and climate, and is incapable of making things better.

The majority of public won't notice the impact, until its too late.

We need everyone angry about this now.

Give it a decade or two, and this and many other spots like it in the southwest will be lost to a thick tangle of invasive rhododendron, requiring unimaginable time and energy to remove.

Why is this unfolding calamity being ignored by the authorities?

EU commission president von der Leyen said today the EU isn't fighting fossil fuels, only the *emissions* from fossil fuels

total nonsense, we can't separate fossil fuels from carbon emissions

even IF we could, they're a disaster for health, nature & human rights even before you burn them

This is climate change.

You can't do anything better for the soul than give space to native flora and fauna.
Unidentified on account of irresponsible labelling, this Chinese Sorbus has not, as yet, attracted the attention of the blackbirds. The neighbouring native, Sorbus aucuparia, on the other hand, has been stripped of its berries already.

Climate change means your seasonal wardrobe is redundant!

You need to fight for your right to wear cute jumpers at certain times of the year.
Lads it's very warm for November, only 7 years ago I couldn't go out this time of year without leggings under my trousers
