In Your Nature Ep 58 - Biodiversity with Éanna Ní Lamhna

Send us Fan Mail In our last episode of 2024, In Your Nature welcomes a well-known nature celebrity for a very lively chat. Niall and Ricky speak to Éanna Ní Lamhna about biodiversity and her long track record of writing, broadcasting and advocating about and for Ireland’s flora and fauna. Éanna gives her characteristic, energetic and unfiltered opinion on nature broadcasting, biodiversity loss in Ireland, together with her hopes and dreams for Irish biodiversity in the future. Éanna really get's into it and eventually leaves Ricky afraid to ask any further questions 😅. Bird of the Week is the Great Northern Diver (Common Loon) as nominated by Éanna, a streamlined seabird evolved for life at sea. Éanna’s new book “ The Great Irish Biodiversity Book ” takes us on a trip through Irish wildlife habitats – from bogs to beaches and woodland to grassland. Discover how habitats work and which creatures and plants to look out for in each one, from the very rare to the most common, all brought to life with amazing illustrations by Barry Falls.
