Super news. Congrats to all involved in this. @deptinfra need to take note of this regarding the mega sized wind turbines proposed.

Five years of planning, three years of fundraising, thousands of donations & hundreds of volunteer hours later... the day we've all been waiting for has finally arrived. We've acquired our first #rewilding site: Heal Somerset 🙌 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-so…

Part of a recent High Court judgement in the South. What has happened at the Knock flies in the face of the EIA Regs! DFC:HED & HMC have been clear, it damages a protected Neolithic burial cairn & Inauguration site. @deptinfra must end this unlawful development. @JohnODowdSF

Our forests are disappearing, fertile soils are breaking down, insects are suffering annihilation, oceans are being killed - we are terraforming the beautiful blue planet into an ecological desert Hard not to conclude we have entered earth’s sixth mass extinction event

We've said it time and time again, everything in this world has it's place, to construct a wind farm on bogs is ten steps backwards for one step forward. It just does not make sense.

Very important that people are aware of some of the necessary actions required to facilitate construction of the proposed BNM wind farm on these bogs, such as the removal of important natural environmental tools on these bogs. How is this a move in the right direction?

The recent brutal @NIA_PAC report into planning in NI makes the same point. No public body (north or south) should be concealing its neglect. Unfortunately, cover-up culture is deeply embedded in our public institutions as they believe they can get off with it @NIAuditOffice

This is one turbine. Quite small in comparison to what is proposed for Gruggandoo. It has a massive impact. Our Neolithic heritage is being ignored. At Gruggandoo we have environmental protections. Neolithic monuments close by at Tamnaharry and Mullaghmore Stone Circle.

This is the moment when today, April 5th 2022, the Iniciativa Legislativa Popular (ILP) to recognize Mar Menor and his entire basin (Murcia, Spain), the largest saltwater lake in Europe, as a subject with #rightsofnature, was overwhelmingly voted in the Congress of Deputies.

Biodiversity is being lost across Mourne too. We need to save the environment by rewilding and saving it from big wind.

For the avoidance of doubt Ireland's ancient megalithic sites are being destroyed by weak legislation, toothless environmental protection agencies, lack of public awareness regarding extent of damage & an increasing trend in corporate & pubic vandalism #ProtectNeolithicIreland
