flag Ireland’s protected habitats are mostly degraded, but conservation efforts are helping some species recover.

flag A 2025 report reveals 90% of Ireland’s EU-protected habitats are in poor condition, with 51% deteriorating, mainly due to agriculture, pollution, and development. flag Despite this, 9% show improvement, driven by conservation efforts like peatland restoration, the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan, and EU funding. flag Over two-thirds of 60 monitored species are stable or improving, with otters, seals, pine martens, and certain whales recovering. flag Government investment in nature services has increased significantly, and findings will guide Ireland’s upcoming Nature Restoration Plan by September 2026.
