21) Can you encourage your local #Catholic church to enhance the biodiversity of their property?
An important initiative from the Irish Catholic Church. Given the significant footprint of Church property across Ireland there is a great opportunity to enhance threatened #biodiversity

Was startled by the size and speed of this caterpillar, which turned out to be an Elephant Hawkmoth. I forgot to add something for scale, but I'd say it was at least 8–9 cm long
The beautiful adult is pictured here in a lovely book I copy-edited years ago, Heather Greer's "On Your Doorstep: Moths and Butterflies of Connemara"

Comprehensive & compelling case put forward by Eoghan Daltun (Insta: @IrishRainforest) on where Ireland's forestry policies have gone wrong, & worse still, will be expanded on with EU approval. #Biodiversity #CarbonCapture #NativeSpecies #IrishWildlife #TemperateRainforests 🌳🌱🪲🐜🦌 https://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/outdoors/arid-41200501.html

RT @Dr_A_Kelly: It is absolutely unacceptable that endemic #IrishHares are taken from wild & chased by #greyhounds by a tiny minority of people in 🇮🇪 - #hares are struck, pinned & killed only for gambling & perverted enjoyment - its time to #BanHareCoursing & fully protect #IrishWildlife
