“Breeding productivity has been so low that population viability analysis predicts that in the absence of any action, the Curlew will go extinct as a breeding species in Ireland within 5-10 years,” said the NPWS. According to the NPWS, there will be a coordinated effort between the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine on curlew conservation in 2022.

“However, there is no doubt that after decades of pressure acting against Curlew, this is certainly an uphill battle. We are therefore looking for the best people on the Curlew Action Teams to bolster these efforts.”Related Reads 03.09.21 The Explainer x Noteworthy: What can be done to halt the decline of our precious biodiversity? 27.08.

“The Curlew Champion will be central to gaining the support of local people to enable a smooth operation of the scheme, including building relations between project personnel and local people,” said the NPWS in the job description.
