Ireland
Приєднався 11 чер 2018
Are you tired of one-sided environmental narratives? Simplified takes that ignore the nuance and complexity of matters? This show brings diverse perspectives on every environmental story and examines their ecological, social and political dimensions. Listen and become a well-rounded environmental voice with the power to influence change.
I'm Tommy Serafinski and this is the Conservation and Science, where we take a deep dive into topics of ecology, conservation and human-wildlife interactions (which, in most cases, means human-wildlife conflict). Here, I talk with world-class scientists, members of environmental organisations, practical conservationists, farmers, nature writers, and last but not least, hunters and anglers. We talk about biodiversity, conservation, hunting and fishing, rewilding and more.
Start with the fan-favourite episode 163, “The EU Review of Wolf Protection Status.” It’s the perfect introduction to what this podcast has to offer.

Ireland on the Fly - @irelandonthefly
➡️ Ireland on the Fly: www.irelandonthefly.com/
What drives two friends to create a weekly podcast about fly fishing? How do they manage to keep it fresh and engaging week after week? Ireland on the Fly started as Daire's passion project about four years ago, combining his media background with his newfound love for fly fishing. The podcast took on new life when Tom, an experienced angling guide and former Hardy and Grays sales manager, joined the team two and a half years ago.
The show explores the rich culture and history of fly fishing in Ireland, featuring diverse topics from technical fishing advice to environmental issues. Each episode brings unique perspectives through interviews with historians, scientists, and fellow anglers. The hosts maintain a careful balance between practical fishing content and broader environmental concerns, often addressing current issues like the recent Killery Harbour salmon farm escapees, while staying true to their role as custodians of rivers and lakes.
As media veterans, Daire and Tom understand the challenge of keeping environmental content engaging for their audience. They work to find fresh angles on recurring issues like fish kills and salmon farming, while still delivering the practical fishing content their listeners desire. Their approach combines awareness-raising with entertainment, proving that educational content can coexist with engaging storytelling.

great conversation. I have induced some anxiety in my kids by simply telling them and getting angry with the idiocy of politicians on tv, and it's hard to know how to best let them have happy childhoods when the outlook is so grim... so this was helpful, thanks.
Hey David! Thanks for this! I wasn't sure if that episode will be a good fit for my show and it turned out a lot of people find this conversation useful. So thanks again for the feedback!
Humans should function as the keystone species of the planet. Recognizing that we are part of the ecosystem and that the ecosystem is part of us and that our survival, health and wellbeing (which comprise our actual wealth) is entirely and inseparably dependent upon the survival, health and wellbeing of our internal and external ecosystem, we should focus on building up the productive capacity of the ecosystem to sustain life and then reap the excess capacity to sustain ourselves. Understand, a healthy natural ecosystem is many times more ECOLOGICALLY productive than a monoculture industrial farm. The reason that we have monoculture (rather than poly culture) farms is that monoculture is more efficient for the MACHINES and more profitable for the capitalists that produce them and the products that they require to operate and because they can rent or sell them to foolish farmers who go into debt to buy or rent them. I had a permaculture farm that was less than 5 ac. It had gardens, orchards, food forests, aquaculture ponds, livestock grazing areas and a hunting park. It was productive enough to fed our family, the neighbors, the workers families, our customers at the farmers markets, some school children and people eating at several restaurants in the neighboring town. AND It simultaneously provided an oasis habitat for wildlife. With all that abundance, I should think that rural people with conventional farms or farms where they sell off their hay (and thus strip their land of nutrients), or “conserve” their land in its unproductive degraded state, would want to convert them into farms that are actually productive!
I don't disagree with any of that. 👍🏻

Thanks for sharing such valuable information! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Excellent topic !
Thank you! 👍🏼 It's a bit of an experimental topic based on my previous farming-themed episodes. So all feedback is welcome!
great discussion. As a zoologist and hunter I'd be happy to allow lethal control of problem animals if it meant the wolf could be reintroduced to Ireland. Although I'd not be out hunting wolves myself, if a farmer asked me to take one out that was identified and licensed to be removed I'd do him/her that favour for the greater good. Unfortunately there are many in the animal rights community who prefer non-existence of a species to any potential suffering of an individual animal...
Hey David! I agree with you fully here. Thanks for watching and you comment! 👍🏼
There was an eagle they taged it as a youngster the mother broke its leg tring to get the tag off, the bird had. To have its leg fixed ,and rehabilitated it was caught by a predator after release.i have pet birds they are extremely sensitive even sometimes to colors i think rigns will create an artificial or false understanding of birds and thier behavior because its artificial
Are novel ecosystems the future of biodiversity?
mostly. But it's complicated!
Good morning! This seems really interesting
Good morning, Drt. Enjoy the episode!
Lead pellet from shot shell?
Yes.
Great conversation! One thing I would add, though not necessarily the most important question here, is that people down the country have many many advantages when it comes to housing, that a Dub like me would never get. They often get preference in building homes in their area, something we never get. Plus the crazy costs. In terms of community and attachment to landscape, I have just as much a connection with my home as any country person but for us it's just accepted that you will be priced out and that's it. That said, I wholeheartedly support people (within reason) being able to continue to live where they grew up if they so wish.
Thanks for your comment, Drt. That is actually a great point and once again proves that the real difference is not between rural and urban but between 'somewheres' and 'anywheres' - however one defines the two groups. And as always, thanks for watching!
Good video, Bill said he doesn't use insecticides on farm. In his twitter account he uses anthelmintic/pour-on. Pour ons are usually avermectins. Avermectims are an insecticide which when administered are excreted in relative unchanged form and last 12 weeks. 12 weeks of insect killing on pasture..
Thanks for watching and for your comment, Ferg. I don't know enough about insecticides or Bill's practices in such detail to be able to comment or respond. Perhaps you could ask him that question on Twitter to clarify. You can catch me there as well @outdoorspodcast.
@TommysOutdoors not on twitter anymore Tommy.
That's likely a smart move!
Thanks for watching! Let me know in the comments what you think about Nature Restoration Law and if it will be good or bad for farming in the long run.
Your commitment shows, great content
Thank you for the kind words, Phelim!

Very informative and heartening to hear farmers are moving towards soil maintenance rather than squeezing out every last bit of goodness without thought for the long term
I agree! Thanks for watching, David. A few more farming episodes coming soon!
Hey there! Thanks for stopping by and watching. Whether you watch the whole episode or just a few minutes, please leave a comment. Your feedback is always greatly appreciated!
some great points here, Tommy. I looked into the ethics of hunting while I was doing my research back in the day and I concur with a lot of this.
Thanks David! Good to hear that I don't have some out of touch views. At least not all of them 😁

Nice one 👍
Great discussion. Pushing me towards wanting to hunt more
Excellent! Get after it, mate! 😀
Your man who wants them totally eradicated isn’t very likeable bloke I must say.
Like him or not, he makes a few valid points though.
Great discussion. A few comments on what one of your guests said: As another guest later said, Muntjac don’t have a breeding season, so there’s no way to have a closed season that respects their young during lactation… In my research 25 years ago in Wicklow, I found no reduction in harvest of stags after the rut that would indicate hunters are disinclined to shoot because the meat is lower quality. If it’s not feasible to eradicate sika due to terrain, then how are we so sure it’s possible to manage them well enough for good ecological outcomes? In the comparison of the management options give, I’m pretty sure the forest with deer managed have much, much lower densities than most places in Ireland, especially Wicklow and Kerry where regeneration is needed most. Might one propose that the lady who sees a difference between sika and red might well be influenced by the very fact that, as is the premise of the whole discussion. sika are invasive and red deer are native? If goats have no protection, how come they’ve not been eradicated yet from Killarney NP? That’s a question coming from complete ignorance of the current situation there. Finally, it´s true that the forest planning in Ireland is still terrible… despite the discussions with forest managers for decades. Keep up the good work, Tommy!
Hi David, thanks for your comment. It's as always both interesting and insightful. Many thanks for being a listener and viewer for all these years. Your support is greatly appreciated! 👍🏼
Interesting discussion, thank you for posting.
And thank you for watching!
Social media is deliberately polarising. It increases engagement, which increases user presence, which increases shareholder profits. Users need to find a way of reminding themselves it's not real life. I deleted all social media profiles recently, and instantly felt free, as if I'd escaped the matrix or broken the loop or something.
That is true and I heard similar reports from people who decided to get rid of social media or at very least remove the apps from their phones and only use them through pc which in itself limits the use. Regarding it not being real life... It's a classic case of "yes and no". We talked about it briefly in episode 145, unfortunately our politicians and policymakers are on social media too and they're getting influenced and before you know it, the online sentiments turn into a real life.
Logging in for a Minute and scrolling through is cheating! 😂 Logging in alone and just seeing what's on your feed at that moment can already have a huge influence.
The idea was to not interact to not get involved and maintain the distance to assess what's going on rather than some sort of social media detox.
Well you got my vote this morning. We need your generation's voices in Bru$$€£$, before my generation leaves its tra$h h€aps for you to live on.
Wow, 'ecosystem rights' I'd not thought of that!
I think it makes more sense than nature rights!

Well maybe not the individual bird or shark, but as a species and as an ecosystem, they're probably better off if humans understand their mechanisms
Well, that's kinda my point. Understanding of those ecosystems alone won't improve anything. Conservation action is required.
@TommysOutdoors Oh, I see. So just 1 aspect alone isn't enough to be conservation is what you mean? To use an analogy, you wouldn't call yourself a recycler if all you did was keep your recycling out of the trash, you also have to take it to a plant that you know will reuse the material, although, stopping throwing away recycling is an important part and start.
Yup. And that's not to dismiss the importance of such contributions. Nevertheless they are contributions to conservation that can be used by conservationists. Check the full video as I explain my point of view there in greater detail. And thanks for your comments! 😊
in certain cases maybe due to animal over population such as deer and hogs since they dont have any natural predators they would overpopulate the area
Yes, there are cases. I talk about them in the full video. Thanks for your comment! 🤠
Ok
