Overview of Land Use: Teagasc

Dr. Rogier Schulte:

I will defer to the National Parks and Wildlife Service, which produced the table. Our understanding from the report is that Ireland has met its obligations in terms of designating areas for Natura 2000 sites. Within those areas, the outlook for the future status of many of the habitats is poor to bad. This is the column on the right hand side of the graph. That is where the challenge lies. In our conclusion, we say that additional actions are required.
