Derek McLoughlin is the Project Manager of the Wild Atlantic Nature LIFE Project and has worked in the area of agro-ecology since the early 2000s. He has a particular interest in how we interact with nature and the land, its people and their stories.
This interest has guided his work with nature and agriculture towards the use of results-based payment schemes, development of employment opportunities in rural areas through nature restoration, and finding the opportunities for people and nature in our environmental challenges.
