We are trying to make the UK and Northern Ireland in particular better for nature and for people. We believe that woodlands provide a lot of health and well-being benefits for people, but also the nature benefits as well, in terms of carbon capture, climate resilience, a clear kind of nature-based solution to some of the climate and nature crisis we find ourselves in at the minute.
It's one of the UK and Ireland's most threatened habitats. John Martin also explained why this work is important. Temperate rainforest occurs in areas of high rainfall, mild temperatures and strong kind of ocean influence. It's usually characterized by native tree species such as oak, birch, alder and hazel and complex woodland structures like
Esimerkiksi ravineita, rikkoja, rohkeita, jne. Ja vaikka ne ovat hieman vähemmän näkökulmallisia kuin metsäkäräjät, nämä järjestelmät tuottaa erittäin erityisen erikoisia ja usein maailmanlaajuisia flora- ja fauna-asioita. Metsäkäräjät ja metsäkäräjät yhdessä on todella tärkeää, koska tulevaisuudessa järjestelmät hyödyttävät maailmanlaajuisista ratkaisuista, joita metsäkäräjät antaa.
John Martin, the FAI Director of Football.
We're here in the Aviva Stadium and I know you're speaking to the media today about the football development structure within Ireland.
One of the words that I've heard today a lot were the need for everyone to be aligned and unity across all departments.
Do you mind just telling people how you would like to lead the football side of the structure over the next couple of years?
I suppose you speak about a lot of work to do.
One of the first things we saw today was the state of football in Ireland and the FAI 20 years ago compared to now.
And maybe the lack of structures in place for specifically women probably involved and girls in the FAI system.
Do you mind just explaining to people basically how it's going to be set up over the next couple of years?
Because you know it's going to be vastly different to what we've seen before for young girls and women in Ireland.
So you've Lizzie basically at the top of the women's and girls unit and then she's five staff below her?
One of the things that's been mentioned, and I've seen it been mentioned by maybe people who were involved or were involved in the League of Ireland and have now moved away, is the need for a better development, I suppose, structure when you're closer to the senior team, the women's senior team, and the need for maybe an under-21s or for the need for an under-23 team.
How far away are the FAI from maybe looking at that and implementing it into place?
We spoke obviously about the need for everyone to be aligned annually.
One of the things I think people might get drawn to is the switch up in terms of how coaches are going to lead the youth teams in Ireland.
Do you mind just explaining maybe to people who might be a little bit confused at home how it's going to change from maybe what people are used to seeing in people in a fixed term or a full-time contract with a team to what the new system is going to be for the FAI?
Can I ask, though, you spoke about maybe the need for, or not the need, but maybe coaches can go across to other countries and develop their coaching.
Is there maybe another case where we may see, I know from the top of my head, the likes of Spain with Luis de la Fuente, who went through youth groups to go on and manage the senior team.
