Protecting Wildlife

Action programmes for individual species that we are involved in to follow shortly.

In the interim read about our two overarching visions of restoration and renewal of Northern Ireland's wildlife here:

Living Landscapes

We are working to transform the environment we live in: restoring, recreating and reconnecting wildlife-rich spaces in rural and urban areas by working in partnership with local communities, landowners, schools and businesses. We want wildlife to thrive, to disperse and re-colonise our landscape so future generations can encounter, experience and enjoy our natural heritage.

Living Seas

We are working towards a healthy, productive and wildlife-rich future for NI waters through our four Living Seas themes.

  • Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and wildlife
  • Fishing and seafood
  • Marine planning and sustainable development
  • Legislation and Policy
