#15 Once I Counted Birds
Very pleased to have a video from Ireland’s leading figure on The Earth Charter, Dr Cathy Fitzgearld. I have known Cathy for many years , and I have taken a number of her courses with Haumea Ecoversity such at Eco Literacy for Creatives and Cultural Professionals and most recently on the Earth Charter .
Cathy made this video in 2009 . Originally from Aotearoa , New Zealand, she was part of a biodiversity research trip to unpeopled Suwarrow atoll in the Cook Islands, South Pacific. Cathy is currently based in County Carlow, Ireland where she and her husband Martin have since 2008 , been diversifying a small conifer plantation forest on their land to become a mixed species, more resilient, more bird-song-filled small continuous cover forest (Hollywoodforest.com).
