Summary of Submission and Observation:

To protect and promote Ireland’s wildlife through education, conservation, and research, to restore a healthy ecosystem for all species and peoples of Ireland. Sets out their supports for SO 5, Table 6.2, Table 6.3 and Objective 6.25.

Propose that amendments should be made in the policies of the new Development Plan:

Habitat the loss of biodiversity

• The City in the next version of the Development Plan should adopt outcome-based (or results-based) polices and actions for a biodiversity-rich Cork. • Leverage new resources to deliver much more biodiversity action and do this by developing partnerships with both the private and state sectors to co-fund activity. Ambition and leadership will be crucial to building these partnership approaches. • We note the intent in Objective 6.25 (see above) seek to map the City’s ecological networks but ask that this is urgently brought forward and presented in ‘Mapped Objectives’ documentation.
