Abstract: Important sites and habitats are being lost faster than they are being protected in Northern Ireland, due to the inadequacies of the site protection mechanisms in existence there. This paper discusses weaknesses of the system and concludes that the heart of the problem is the lack of an adequately resourced and independent conservation agency.
