I am looking for people who live in Ireland (North and South) to complete my survey on Rewilding and Land Use on the island. The survey is part of a research project through Ulster Univeristy.
If you’re interested just click on the link below and have a go – it should only take around 10 mins to complete.

Done, interesting survey. Could you let us know the results?
Happy to help. Considerable rewilding is a long ways down the road here yet, however. We can’t even manage our Natura 2000 sites, let alone put in place the nature corridors that would be required in order to rewild terrestrial predators of any sort. The focus needs to be on restoring high-value habitats.
This survey is pretty biased in how questions are asked. Your results will all be biased in your favour based on this rendering it inaccurate data.

I’d love to see how many people think we should reintroduce wolves or bears to Ireland.
Done.
Its a bit ridiculous that people are still talking about reintroducing wolves and the like. I mean herbivores would be fine and would have a healthy hunting community built up to manage them but carnivorous animals are a threat to a whole lot of people especially in a small country like ours.

Find lack of forestry aspects in the survey concerning, considering existing tree habitats inc. Plantations would be one key to reintroductions.
Done , hope your work can help accelerate sme rewilding in Ireland.
Done.
I filled out your survey, I’m expecting to see wolves in my garden by next week
I filled it in & said yes to lots of species, but I don’t necessarily think they should be reintroduced into the country as it is now.
I think there’d need to be a good bit of rewilding before reintroducing a lot of the species in that list
