  Ireland’s National Biodiversity Week
The Irish Environmental Network organises a National Biodiversity Week in collaboration with various groups, and from 16 May to 1 June many events are taking place around the country.

National Biodiversity Week is all about connecting people with nature. It’s about communicating the importance of biodiversity and motivating people to play their part in protecting it. It’s also about entertaining them; showing the fun and wonder that can be found in nature; and inspiring people to learn more, see more, do more.

See www.biodiversityweek.ie for more details about upcoming events.
