21st baron of Dunsany rewilding large part of his estate

The world need to restore nature back to the wild according to the UN. To meet nature and climate commitments, an area equal in size to entire China needs to be restored. On Ireland, Randal Plunkett, the 21st baron of Dunsany contribute with what he can towards a more rewilded planet. Even though his actions breaks long lived traditions and others say its a waste of cattle and farm land, Randal Plunkett has decided to let huge private land to rewild. “Before, the estate had just three types of grass, now it has 23. I didn’t do it, the birds did. Trees regenerated and multiplied, oak, ash, beech, Scots pine and black poplar. I see a lot of saplings growing that I haven’t planted. Lush, diverse vegetation attracted butterflies and other insects, it’s like a buffet for them – which drew more birds, including rarely seen woodpeckers, barn owls, red kites and sparrowhawks” Thank you Randal Plunkett for letting parts of your land go back to nature. It’s inspiring to read how nature “fixes” itself once us humans leave it be.
