The PMP attended and made a presentation at the New Horizons for Nature - Ireland's National Biodiversity Conference in Dublin Castle yesterday.
There was a diverse range of presentations throughout the day and an inspirational speech from President Michael D Higgins. He aptly summed up the problems we face with the loss of biodiversity, and the pressures faced by habitats that support many of these endangered species. As he stated ‘’If we were coal miners, we would be up to our knees in dead canaries’’. It is time we take action to address the problem, with all stakeholders working together to tackle this grave threat.
Thanks to Caroline O’Sullivan for doing a great job of chairing the Payments for Ecosystem Services session that the PMP presented.
