Fantastic piece by @whittledaway.bsky.social on rewilding.
Nothing else represents such sheer, distilled hope at a time when that can be in very short supply, and it's our primary weapon against nature loss in highly depleted places like Ireland.

Despite the backlash in recent years (in Ireland anyway!), rewilding is now well established in academic and practical responses to the biodiversity crisis.

Why Does Greenland Interest Trump? Climate Change Is Only Part of the Story
Arctic shipping routes and burgeoning mining opportunities may be part of Greenland’s appeal to President-elect Donald Trump, but each comes with challenges as well

A lot of people want to know what to do to be successful. It may be difficult to hear, but stop listening to stories about other successful people. Stop chasing the inspirational fluff. It doesn't matter what time someone wakes up in the morning. It doesn't matter what book you read last.

Since 2000, the rail network across the country has been expanded - with the #southeast and #Waterford being the big exception. We'll continue to campaign vigorously for infrastructure investment in our region across the lifetime of the next government.
