What is Biodiversity and Education?
Drawdown states, in their “Protect and Restore Ecosystems” section of their website, “Let nature be nature is a powerful principle—let peatlands, grasslands, and forests continue to do what they do best by protecting them from human disturbance. Where ecosystems have been degraded, restoration can help them recuperate form and function, including absorbing and storing more carbon over time.”
Who is Dr. John O’Halloran?
John O’Halloran is a proud alumnus of University College Cork. He graduated with a degree in Zoology in 1984, a PhD in 1987. He has published almost 250 research papers and a number of books.
In September 2020 he was appointed Interim President at University College Cork. Prior to taking up that role he had served as the Deputy President and Registrar since 2018.
His discipline is biology, and his main area of research is ornithology with a particular interest in both swans and dippers. He has also undertaken a significant body of research on forest ecology and forest biodiversity and has led a number of research projects with considerable input to local and EU policy and practice in the area of human influences on environmental change.
