Nature won’t be fooled by creative carbon accounting. The UNFCCC-sanctioned loophole lets wood pellet emissions vanish on paper. But not in reality. Burning forests to cut emissions? That’s not climate action. It’s biosphere destruction.

Yes, very much so.
But while wolves would fit right back in ecologically if they were reintroduced to Ireland tomorrow, I don't feel people are ready for their return.
That's why I think we should focus on lynx reintroduction: there's very little potential for conflict.

Wolves are doing fine in far more densely populated places like the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg, so they would here too.
As I said, the difficulty is psychological, not ecological.

Do we have enough space for wolves? I remember reading somewhere once that we don't, but happy to be wrong. Can't remember where I read that now, though.

Most of Ireland's surviving 1% of natural forest looks like the image on the right, when it should be like what's on the left. The cause?
Far too many invasive, non-native sika deer + feral goats. They're killing off the last remnants of rich ecosystems that have been here for around 10,000 years.

If you want to see the huge impact that high deer numbers can have on the understorey and ground flora of woods, check out these two photos below - one taken just after the removal of deer fencing, the second taken six years later. (Source: forestrycommission.blog.gov.uk/2022/08/04/r...)
