Step into the extraordinary world of Ireland’s temperate rainforests — rare, ancient ecosystems overflowing with life, colour, texture and quiet magic.
In The Magic of an Irish Rainforest: A Visual Journey, environmentalist and rewilder Eoghan Daltun (author of the award-winning An Irish Atlantic Rainforest) travels across Ireland to document our last remaining fragments of wild, thriving rainforest. His journey begins at Bofickil, his own rewilded woodland on the Beara Peninsula, before moving through the moss-draped valleys and wooded glens of Killarney National Park, The Gearagh, The Burren, Old Head Wood, Glenveagh National Park, Fermanagh’s limestone gorges, Glendalough, and more.
Through captivating photography and evocative nature writing, Daltun reveals the astonishing biodiversity that lives in these overlooked habitats — the lichens, mosses, ferns, fungi, and native trees that weave together a world both ancient and urgently threatened. This visual journey is as much a celebration as it is a call to action, showing what Ireland still has… and what could return if we choose to protect it.
A stunning gift for nature lovers, photographers, rewilding advocates and anyone who feels at home in Ireland’s wild places.
