Researchers have named a moth species “Pyralis papaleonei,” or “Pope Leo moth," in honor of the Holy Father.

“The new species is dedicated to the head of the Catholic Church, Pope Leo XIV,” authors Peter Huemer, Lauri Kaila, and Andreas H. Segerer wrote in a research article on the species. “The pontiff is a strong advocate of climate and environmental protection, and we hope that his voice may serve as an example for humanity.”

TINY FOREST INITIATIVE: Members of the Kilmore Care of Creation group, local community groups from across County Cavan, John Toland of CCLD, Forester and Education Specialist, Daniel Monaghan and Ecologist, Roisin Grimes gathered on the grounds of the Conaty Centre in Cavan on Saturday morning to complete Phase 4 of the CCLD LEADER funded 'Tiny Forest' initiative.

With good weather on our side, the morning kicked off with an outdoor teaching and learning workshop on caring for a Miawalki Forest. Groups then visited the site to view the trees that were planted last February.

We are delighted to report that all of the trees survived and the site looks pretty good.

Tiny Forests are dense, native woodlands packed into small urban spaces measuring 25m². Based on the Miyawaki method it rapidly boosts biodiversity, fights climate change, and reconnects people with nature. The mix of native trees grow up to 5 times faster, providing significant environmental, health, and community benefits in as little as three years.

We thank everyone involved for their contribution to nature, people and communitues.
