Northern Ireland curlew population increases from 37 to 52 breeding pairs due to Curlew LIFE project and farmer collaboration.
The curlew population in Northern Ireland has rebounded significantly, increasing from 37 to 52 breeding pairs in one year, following an 82% decline since 1987. This recovery is largely attributed to the Curlew LIFE project, a four-year initiative funded by the EU, which implements habitat management, nest protection, and predator control. Collaboration with local farmers has also played a crucial role in creating favorable conditions for curlews.
