The landscape is changing faster than ever. Increasing pressures on land resources are posing serious threats to the existence of our wildlife. Here you can find out about our work on a number of cooperative conservation projects to protect vulnerable species across Ireland.
PeacePlus Nature is an ambitious programme to tackle the decline in priority species and habitats in Northern Ireland and the border counties of Ireland. PeacePlus Nature a project supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB).
Cooperation Across Borders for Biodiversity (CABB) is a cross-border INTERREG VA project to protect breeding waders and manage bog habitats in border counties of Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
Corncrakes were one of Ireland’s best-loved and most familiar birds of rural areas. Efforts to save them have prevented extinction, but they are now confined to part of Donegal and West Connaught.
Can Ireland and its breeding seabirds remain a match made in heaven under pressures from climate change?
