Oisín O’Sullivan, Senior Ecologist at Woodrow and all-Ireland bat lead for APEM Group, was nominated for the Aoibheann Gaughran Award, which honours the legacy of a devoted conservationist and is awarded for work and commitment that has made a difference to the world of bat conservation and helped bring people together.

Over the last 20 years, Irish bat populations has stabilised or increased, and we’re providing community groups, industries and developers across Ireland with new approaches to bat surveying, new technologies and new data capture methods to make sure bats are detected, protected and thriving.
