Chair of Ireland’s Citizens’ Assembly on Biodiversity Loss says she told Taoiseach Leo Varadkar enacting laws we already have “would go a great distance to conserving biodiversity loss”.
Dr Aoibhinn Ní Shúilleabháin’s comment followed the launch of a report outlining 159 recommendations to help Irish people “become good ancestors” as the world first CA on the issue came to a close.
Some 99 people from across society came up with the plan to protect and restore biodiversity after hearing from scientists, landowners, NGOs and farmers in seven meetings over 10 months.
