The Biodiversity theme is supported by the National Parks and Wildlife Services (NPWS) within the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. The NPWS aims to protect Ireland’s habitats by implementing national, European and international policy. Having healthy and functioning ecosystems is vital for protecting public health, preserving our environment and supporting Ireland’s economy.
The NPWS looks after the conservation of much of Ireland’s habitats and species. Ireland has six National Parks: Glenveagh, Co. Donegal, Ballycroy, Co. Mayo, Connemara, Co. Galway, the Burren, Co. Clare, the Wicklow Mts. and Killarney, Co. Kerry. Visit the NPWS website to learn about the various protected sites in Ireland and why they are so important.
