We recently celebrated National Biodiversity Week, highlighting our dependence on biodiversity on multiple aspects of our daily lives.
The week was marked with a series of events and presentations in the media and online.
In County Longford, a short video on aspects of natural heritage, from Arctic Char in Lough Naback to the human impact of climate change, were created by local groups and individuals, hosted on the Longford Heritage & Archives Services Facebook page.
