I agree with Mr. Ó Donnchú. Any effort requires reward. Just because you have restored land and have the corncrake back does not mean you can turn your back on them. Why would you? It is not for the good of your health.

This is my last question, Mr. Ó Donnchú will be happy to hear. Many years ago, when I was studying environmental matters, the key issues on nature and environment were pollution, invasive species, habitat fragmentation and climate change. Which ones are we winning the battle on and which ones are we still losing the battles on? What are the success stories at the moment? Are they still the key impacts on our wildlife and nature?
