Is this part of the ECJ ruling in favor of the European Comission that found Ireland guilty of failing to meet EU Conservation standards? [0]

I have some ideas on who should be obligated to pay for this and then some.
He should get on Blindboy Boatclub's podcast. Blindboy is also interested in Ireland's native biodiversity and how to reclaim it.
"Ecological desert" is more sensationalist than technical. I think they meant "wasteland".
That more or less describes many areas depleted by industrial agriculture. There are also many people working on restoring and regenerating ecologies all around the world, some of it restoring from eroded bedrock and compacted dirt.
Not to diminish this person's work, my point is this isn't just an Irish problem, and the solutions are known.
I can imagine a distant future in which humanity makes regreening the planet its number one priority.
Actually probably not because humans have shown themselves as a group to put self interest over group interest even in the face of the end of civilisation as we know it.
