PASSAGE WEST
What is this presentation about?
Developing a Biodiversity Action plan that can feed into a 5-year Town And Village Renewal Plan for Passage West.
Why is this happening?
As part of a dynamic community led strategic planning process that is being facilitated by SECAD Partnership in conjunction with Cork County Council and the communities of Passage West and Carrigtwohill.
To develop a five year Strategic Action Plan based on inputs from people living in the community, people working in the community, people providing volunteer and community based services and people that are providing services to the communities such as Cork County Council and education, health and other service providers. www.wildwork.ie www.facebook.com/wildworkers [email protected]
PASSAGE WEST
How can people participate in the overall Town and Village Renewal Plan for Passage West?
SECAD and Cork County Council would like to hear from anyone and everyone that is interested, from young to old, from those born and raised in Passage West or Carrigtwohill and those that have made it their home.
Thus we are aiming to capture a ‘holistic view’ of what the people of Passage West and Carrigtwohill would like their communities to look like and be like in the future. We will be running other community consultation sessions like the one this presentation was produced for.
Details of further events will be advertised in your community
For any specific queries in relation to the Town and Village Renewal Plan please contact SECAD directly at: Phone 021 4613432 Email [email protected] www.wildwork.ie www.facebook.com/wildworkers [email protected]

What is Biodiversity?
A shorthand way of saying ‘biological diversity’.
But what does that mean? A simple way to describe ‘biological diversity’ is to say it means all the different types and individuals of living things on the planet, the places they live and the ways they live with each other. www.wildwork.ie www.facebook.com/wildworkers [email protected]

What is Biodiversity?
An even simpler way to describe ‘Biodiversity’ might be: ‘Nature’! www.wildwork.ie www.facebook.com/wildworkers [email protected]
PASSAGE WEST
Why do we need Biodiversity Action Plans ?
• 1950s- It is noticed that the way people live on the planet is damaging other species and the places those species need to live. It is realised that this damage is also a problem for people. www.wildwork.ie www.facebook.com/wildworkers [email protected]
PASSAGE WEST
Why do we need Biodiversity Action Plans ?
• 1980s- Under the United Nations, people across the planet decide to take action to protect all species, the places they live and the ways they live together. www.wildwork.ie www.facebook.com/wildworkers [email protected]
PASSAGE WEST
Why do we need Biodiversity Action Plans ? • 1992- Ireland is one of 168 parties that sign up to the Convention on Biological Diversity which is designed to make sure that:
Biodiversity is protected.
Biodiversity is kept safe for future generations.
The benefits of Biodiversity are shared equally.
The idea of preparing Biodiversity Action Plans comes from the Convention on Biological Diversity. www.wildwork.ie/ www.facebook.com/wildworkers [email protected]
PASSAGE WEST
Why do we need Biodiversity Action Plans ? • 2002- Ireland makes its first National Biodiversity Action Plan. This plan says that Local Authorities, like Cork County Council, need to prepare Biodiversity Action Plans too.
2009-The first Biodiversity Action Plan for County Cork is published.
The Cork County Biodiversity Action Plan says that, to make sure the plan works, lots of organisations and people need to get involved. www.wildwork.ie www.facebook.com/wildworkers [email protected]

What do Biodiversity Action Plans do ?
A local Biodiversity Action plan such as this one might choose to look at:
• What can be done to enhance the local area to benefit biodiversity? • What actions are needed to do this? • What resources will be needed? • Who will carry them out? • In what time-frame? www.wildwork.ie www.facebook.com/wildworkers [email protected]

Species of conservation importance Surrounding land use
Mapping and boundaries Geology -Soils, bedrock Natural History www.wildwork.ie www.facebook.com/wildworkers [email protected]
PASSAGE WEST
What kind of actions could you think about?
Running education and awareness programmes
Habitat mapping Passage West Trying chemical free maintenance of green spaces
Managing grasslands for biodiversity – mowing regimes Developing places / activities for connecting with nature for mental health Preserving / restoring / creating wetlands Creating / managing wildflower strips Citizen Science monitoring e.g. bees, butterflies Somewhere to keep and share all the information you gather! www.wildwork.ie www.facebook.com/wildworkers [email protected]
