A 50% increase in corncrakes in our project 'LIFEtime'. There are too many people to thank for this. It shows what can be done- when we care enough. More to come.....watch this space! @NPWSIreland @DeptHousingIRL See story here:

Only 800 Tapanuli orangutans are left — and corporate giant @JardineMatheson plans to destroy their only rainforest home for a gold mine. We're calling on Jardines’ executive chairman #BenKeswick to stop the goldrush and halt the expansion -- join now:

This is a great exhibition!! If you are in the area pop into the Lullymore Heritage and Discovery park to see it. It is the cumulation of several years of work on by @TCD_NatSci and @Universityofgalway historians and geographers. @agriculture_ie @EPAResearchNews
Excited to announce that the RePEAT exhibition will be coming to @LullymorePark in May. This will be the first leg in our summer roadshow as we bring the exhibition around the country.
