CO for 7130 Blanket Bogs (*if active bog) on Mount Brandon showing target grazing levels. disturbance etc and limit to woody vegetation (which may be Annex 1 Bog Woodland if allowed grow)
Given other designations intermixed such as heath, nardus grassland etc don't see how zero grazing acheived

Temperate rainforest is a globally scarce and rare habitat.
Only 1.6% of the Burren is classed as mature established Hazel "scrub", which is rare Hazel rainforest.
A further 11.7% was classed as immature "encroaching hazel scrub", which is/will be rare Hazel rainforest.

All smiles and a goofy photoshoot - what a hoot.

Aware of limitations of map making & get you are coming at it from social/human aspect which has been ignored widely in past (still in some areas) - there is an important ecology element to this which you are not engaging with
