Biggest blind spot for otherwise good people is their continued funding of animal exploitation.

When you know just how unnecessary it is it’s a heavy burden to bear.

See you there Oonagh 🫡

Thanks for speaking the truth Elaine. Many don’t want to hear it when there’s big money to be made.

We will have a panel of experts after Professor Svenning's contribution. This will inform a lot of our thinking on Rewilding going forward.

Only book a ticket please if you are definitely going! Thanks 👍

The bog might be small, but it's very wet, with lots of sphagnum mosses and sundew present.

Moyclare Bog is not on my list of sites I am working on but I'm going to pay a visit in the spring when I'm back out on fieldwork again.

…think the current housing crisis will obscure the real impacts of wind farms on property prices.

Lastly, I am largely ambivalent to wind farms, acknowledging the need to reduce energy emissions but conscious of the impact they have on local people and wildlife. Solar ☀️ is my preference.

2. The research scope is very narrow, focused on just one county: Galway.

3. The research draws heavily on papers by Heintzelman (whoever they are).

Edit: Here’s the study. I’m not sure if this is peer-reviewed, hence why it’s not appearing in the usual places. I haven’t read it so can’t comment on it yet.

Um… I’m currently evaluating literature on wind farms and community acceptance and I haven’t come across anything like this. If there’s empirical data on this I’d love to see it.

Survival of the fittest!!

It’s almost like Palestinians have de facto zero human rights the way things are going out there.

I won’t buy Israeli products. Haven’t done for years. It’s the only thing I feel I can do in the face of their genocide. That and protest.
