World Wetlands Day
World Wetlands Day is celebrated each year on 2 February to raise awareness about wetlands. Nearly 90% of the world’s wetlands have been degraded since the 1700s, and we are losing wetlands three times faster than forests. Yet, wetlands are critically important ecosystems that contribute to biodiversity, climate mitigation and adaptation, freshwater availability, world economies and more.
Join our guided walk to Knockaunroe Turlough in the Burren National Park at 2.30pm on Sunday 2nd February to learn more about the Burren’s unique turlough wetlands and the variety of species that live there. This event is free but booking is required as places are limited. Please contact us at 065 6827693 or burrennationalpark@npws.gov.ie for more information and to book.
