The data are derived from to a subset of the questions on The Heritage Council survey on “Biodiversity Awareness: Understanding and Impact of its Loss”, conducted between 13.04.2010 to 22.04.2010 on 1,006 Irish participants (498 male, 508 female) aged 16 years or older. For comparison, the average responses by EU27 citizens to identical questions in the 2010 Flash Eurobarometer Report No. 290 (conducted from 08.02.2010 to 12.02.2010, over 27,000 participants aged 15 years or older) are included.
