Eoghan Daltun has written the story of how he saved a dying rainforest in the Beara Peninsula in his book An Atlantic Rainforest: A Personal Journey into the Magic of Rewilding, an enchanting story about a fascinating subject.

Eoghan's observations on this regenerative project have implications for both Irish rewilding attempts and the management of our national parks. He is also a sculptor and conservator.
