Cathag, ainm boireann. Dealbh den eun dubh is glas agus an às-earrann a leanas: "1955 Gairm 12 359

Tha a’ chathag gu math nas lugha na an ròcas agus beagan glais innte; bradach, bragail ’na dòigh, spaideil, spàgach ’na gluasad, agus gu tric air a cumail ’na peata aig cloinn."

🍀Ireland - Green Island, Grey Stone Desert

Ireland is known for its lush green landscapes and wild Atlantic coast. One of its greatest natural treasures, however, is a grey stone desert that is home to some of the most fascinating animals and plants. The Burren, which nestles against the rugged Atlantic coast, is an area of stark barrenness. The rugged grey limestone plateau is a true natural paradise.
The Irish word "boireann" means something like "rocky place", because the Burren is characterized by its hilly karst landscape of silvery limestone, which is riddled with countless crevices and underground caves. At first glance, the Burren appears to be extinct, but life thrives here in a variety that cannot be found anywhere else in Ireland.
Rare arctic and Mediterranean flowering plants unfold their splendor in the rock crevices, mighty birds of prey nest in the ruins of medieval abbeys, whooper swans from Iceland overwinter on mysterious, suddenly disappearing lakes, and the Burren's vast underworld with its caves and swallow entrances is a perfect hiding place for countless endangered animals. They also hold many secrets from Ireland's past and natural history.
With more species of butterflies than anywhere else in the country and some of the strongest mammal populations - notably the popular Irish stoat and the elusive pine marten - the Burren is of international importance for its biodiversity. It is also a true paradise from a botanical point of view, thanks to the careful care of people who have farmed and managed this rocky land for millennia.
The documentary shows the contradictions of a natural landscape that was created thousands of years ago by human destruction and still needs human intervention today to preserve it as the treasure it has become.

Ireland - Green Island, Grey Stone Desert

Ireland is known for its lush green landscapes and wild Atlantic coast. One of its greatest natural treasures, however, is a gray, rocky desert that is home to some of the most fascinating flora and fauna. The Burren, nestled against the rugged Atlantic coast, is a land of stark barrenness. The rugged, gray limestone plateau is a true natural paradise.

The Irish word "boireann" means something like "rocky place," as the Burren is characterized by its hilly karst landscape of silvery limestone, crisscrossed by countless crevices and underground caves. At first glance, the Burren appears deserted, but life thrives here with a diversity found nowhere else in Ireland.
Rare Arctic and Mediterranean flowering plants flourish in the rock crevices, mighty birds of prey nest in the ruins of medieval abbeys, whooper swans from Iceland overwinter on mysterious, suddenly disappearing lakes, and the Burren's vast underworld, with its caves and swallow entrances, is a perfect hiding place for countless endangered animals. They also hold many secrets from Ireland's past and natural history.
With more butterfly species than anywhere else in the country and some of the strongest mammal populations—most notably the beloved Irish stoat and the elusive pine marten—the Burren is of international importance for its biodiversity. It is also a true botanical paradise, thanks to the careful care of humans who have cultivated and managed this rocky land for millennia.
The documentary reveals the contradictions of a natural landscape that was created by human destruction thousands of years ago and still requires human intervention today to preserve it as the treasure it has become.
