Reviving the Irish Atlantic Rainforest

The Green Foundation Ireland, in association with TU Dublin Green Week, is delighted to present Eoghan Daltun, author of An Irish Atlantic Rainforest and the Magic of an Irish Rainforest: A Visual Journey. 

Eoghan Daltun came to prominence when he told his story of rewilding a 73-acre farm he bought on the Beara Peninsula.  An Irish Atlantic Rainforest charts that remarkable journey. Part memoir, part environmental treatise, as a wild forest bursts into life before our eyes, we're invited to consider the burning issues of our time: climate breakdown, ecological collapse, and why our very survival as a species requires that we urgently and radically transform our relationship with nature.

In 2023, he travelled the length and breadth of Ireland photographing areas of temperate rainforest, in a bid to illustrate their beauty and immense ecological value, and to document, in almost all cases, their state of decline.

Eoghan has recently returned from Costa Rica where he saw at first-hand how nature restoration is not only necessary, but achievable.

This lunch-time talk will be chaired by Dave O’Connor from the School of Architecture Building and Environment.
