Thanks to the initial work by Emer Cooney of Science Media, GFI has been able to make available videos of many of its events. The videos prove very useful to people who wish to learn more about sustainable communities and ecological restoration.
We are fortunate to be able to publish a number of Eco Eye programmes which are the copyright of GFI’s Director and former Chair, Duncan Stewart – we would like to thank Duncan for making these available to us. They can be viewed under the resources section of our website.

A video in which 9 year old Rijin Lim from Korea tells us amazing facts and figures on bees. Rijin is amazing herself, having spoken about her school project in the video as well as doing the artwork as part of home-schooling during the COVID-19 restrictions. Rijin went to school in the Ballinteer Educate Together National School in Dublin; however, after spending 4 and a half years in Ireland while her father was studying in Trinity College Dublin, Rijin and her family have now returned to Seoul.
We would like to thank Rijin’s parents, Eunsil and Youngseop, for allowing us to use the video.
