The Irish Environmental Network (IEN) is an organisation made of up of 30 of Ireland’s national environmental NGOs.
Their members include: Birdwatch Ireland, the Irish Wildlife Trust, An Taisce, and Friends of the Earth.
All of its member groups are involved in the well-being, protection and enhancement of the environment. They do this through practical conservation work, raising public awareness as well as advocacy.
The IEN, with funding from the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government, collectively supports and co-ordinates these organisations so that they maximize their impact and effectiveness.
