About us
An Taisce is a charity that works to promote environmental awareness and action in the context of the climate and biodiversity emergencies. Founded in 1948, we are one of Ireland’s oldest and largest environmental organisations. We are an independent charitable voice for the environment and for heritage issues. Over the past few years, we have been widening the organisation's original mission from ‘the protection of built and natural heritage’ to a more encompassing vision including a focus on ecosystem resilience and biodiversity enhancement as essential to sustain human community and wellbeing. This vision is guided by a commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and an awareness of the interconnection of the climate and biodiversity emergencies.

In so doing we recognise the need to educate, and advocate on behalf of, present and future generations regarding the interdependence of all elements of the biosphere and the choices that must be made in search of a more socially, economically and environmentally sustainable future.
