Pretty scary experience this morning. My up until now amazing @canyon_bikes frame spontaneously cracked and lost integrity while cycling 😬

The @opwireland is currently dredging the River Nanny in Tuam, Co Galway, during the statutory salmonid close season. Silt pollution was observed yesterday - and the source was investigated. This is a spawning tributary of the Lough Corrib SAC (thanks to 'Tuam in Picture').

There's a designated roadside viewing point on the Co. Waterford side of the Vee to pull in and 'admire' the view. All you can see for miles around are monocultures of sitka, rhododendron, + molinia grass. This is the sort of banal sterility offered in so much of Ireland.

destruction and degradation: refuges continue to be destroyed or degraded by agricultural intensification, commercial forestry (including restocking on ancient woodlands and bogs), year-round sheep grazing, high deer impacts, peat mining, quarrying, and other development

drivers II: you can verify this by looking at aerial images of Ireland. most green areas are fields resown in agricultural grasses, dark green areas commercial plantations of North American conifers, and brown areas cutover bogs or sheep-grazed mountain. little else is left

drivers I: the main drivers of ecosystem collapse have been agricultural intensification in the lowlands, year-round heavy grazing by sheep or deer in the uplands, commercial forestry, and large scale peat mining

Warning: Don't drive around west cork if you are inclined to succumb to eco-anxiety. #CAP Basic farm payments drive habitat destruction. I'm starting to document this to counteract the otherwise feeling of helplessness! #biodiversitycrisisireland

Simple and practical thing to do for nature and water quality. Permanent exclusion area by stream, plus a few metres of a buffer strip, unfertlised and cut once late in the year.
