Ireland’s ecological landscape and our role for nature’s survival with Pádraic Fogarty, Irish Wildlife Trust
Description
Pádraic Fogarty is an ecologist and environmental scientist, chairman of the Irish Wildlife Trust from 2009-2013, editor of 'Irish Wildlife' magazine from 2009 to 2017 and currently acts as their campaign officer. He is author of 'Whittled Away - Ireland's Vanishing Nature', published in 2017.
In this episode of the NeighbourFood podcast, we chat with him about the ecological state of Ireland today; the EU’s new “Nature Restoration Law”; marine protected zones; what’s exciting about some new policies and movements and take a look at COP15, the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
And while Ireland and the world may be in a catastrophic state biodiversity wise, we talk about the vision for bringing nature in all it’s glory back into our lives, by changing mindsets and actions.
Padraic’s knowledge and passion for nature is a pleasure to listen to. A massive thanks to him for his time in joining us to chat and if you are motivated by any of these topics today and would like to find out more, check out the Irish Wildlife Trust website iwt.ie or for some nice listening after you finish this, why not check out Irish their podcast series “Shaping New Mountains”.
