The BurrenLIFE Project
The BurrenLIFE project (BLP) was established to investigate the management requirements of the Burren’s priority habitats and to develop a model for sustainable agriculture in the region. This five-year project (2005-2009) is the first major farming for conservation project in Ireland.
An important factor in its success is that it brings together all the relevant stakeholders: researchers, farmers, conservation and agricultural authorities. Important principles include the adoption of practical, local solutions to management problems and the rigorous monitoring of the agricultural, environmental and socio-economic impacts of these management changes.
