Over the course of creating the creative workshops for this project artist Mild developed a 'Useful Resources and Reference List' which was shared with workshop participants at the time.
The list has become a collection of inspirational resources on climate change and biodiversity, which might be of interest; Here's a link to the google document.
BOOK ‘The Lost Words’ by Robert MacFarlane and Jackie Morris
Full of illustration, and an impactful creative piece in reminder of our connection to nature.
PODCAST ‘Feather and Flock’ - Anja Murray RTE Lyric FM from 2023-2024
A beautiful immersive listen where you’re learn about Irish birds and their lore.
TV SERIES ‘Rising Tides’ aired first in 2024 - Philip Boucher Hayes
Global Climate Change made locally relevant in clear language, highly recommended to understand the stark nature of what we are dealing with. Including weather in Greenland and its effect on farming, melting glaciers and what that means for Ireland. This is responsibility produced to galvanise action rather than immobilize with fear for the future!

Inspiring piece, under 1 hour and - about the work of Cork based Ornithologist Seán Ronayne. Follow Sean on twitter for Irish Birds updates @SoundsIrish like the following;
ARTICLE by Adrienne Matei ‘Can I get a little more eco-friendly every day? Four tips for a greener mindset’ about iterative climate action - May 2024
Sometimes Climate Action can feel overwhelming, this article is a great reminder of small actions we can tip away at, but it’s important to remove guilt from the equation and remember working towards structural policy change together, and societal shifts is where the big wins lie.
TED TALK by Dr Ayana Elizabeth Johnson ‘Finding joy in your Climate Action’

Also an Interesting interview with her here on the NY Times Interview podcast from May 2024.
PODCAST by BirdWatch Ireland ‘In Your Nature’
Fascinating listening from experts on Birds and bird conservation in Ireland, usually each episode focuses on one species or a particular habitat/conservation project.
