The Irish government plans to acquire Clawinch Island to protect endangered wading birds.

The Irish government intends to acquire Clawinch Island on Lough Ree to protect endangered wading birds, including curlew, lapwing, and oystercatcher. This 50-acre island is vital for breeding waterbirds and serves as a migratory stopover. Managed by the National Parks and Wildlife Service, the acquisition is part of a €25 million conservation effort aimed at securing vulnerable bird populations and collaborating with local farmers for sustainable practices.
