Episode Details

Birds in Ireland face severe challenges, with many species like curlews, lapwings, and kestrels on the brink of extinction due to habitat loss, development, and climate change. However, conservation efforts have led to success stories, such as the booming migratory tern population at Rockabill island and the return of the red-necked phalarope. The Irish governments results-based schemes for farmers have also shown promise, but funding and recognition for their work are needed. The Birds and Habitats Directives, EU laws protecting important natural sites and species, are under threat due to industry pressure for simplification and deregulation, which could undo progress for wildlife and climate resilience.
