Malcolm Noonan, Minister of State for Heritage & Electoral Reform is urging people all over Ireland to #LoveNature, in person and online, as National Biodiversity Week begins.
Running from yestrday, Saturday May 15, to Sunday May 23 Biodiversity Week gives everyone in Ireland the chance to explore the rich variety of natural life in Ireland, interact with experts and find out more about the natural world around them and also the biodiversity and conservation work of the National Parks & Wildlife Service and its partners.
As Covid restrictions ease, the #LoveNature campaign aims to mark the week by raising awareness of Ireland’s biodiversity and nature conservation by promoting public engagement through digital resources and, where possible, in person
Minister Noonan said:“This National Biodiversity Week, let’s all take some time to get away from screens and go outside – look up at the sky and notice the birds, look down at the soil and notice the insects, look around at the sheer variety of life and take a moment to really appreciate how amazing it all is.”
