Description
Ireland's natural heritage is facing an unprecedented threat. Human exploitation, pollution, and modern development are steadily eroding its unique character. This loss could have far-reaching consequences for the nation. Nature in Ireland is disappearing at an alarming rate due to overfishing, industrial-scale farming, and pollution. The decline of wildlife habitats and populations has left vast shoals of herring, rivers bursting with salmon, and bogs alive with curlew and geese as mere memories. Coastal communities are struggling to survive, and the foundations of tourism and agriculture are being undermined. However, Pádraic Fogarty argues that it's not too late to change course. He presents a compelling vision for the future, describing how Ireland can restore its natural resources, farm in harmony with nature, and create forests that benefit both people and wildlife. A thought-provoking exploration of the possibilities for a brighter future, Whittled Away offers a persuasive call to action.
