RT GOES WILD A month-long celebration of irelands wildlife on Television, Radio, Online & Mobile.
Throughout May, RT will mark the changing of the seasons with a month-long celebration of Ireland's wildlife. In a month of programming and content across all platforms, a series of documentaries and special programmes will focus on Ireland's birds, flowers, animals and insects. Through a website, a schools mail-out, a new book and a special wildlife insert in the RT Guide, RT is inviting audiences to join in celebrating the unique heritage and beauty of Ireland's landscape and wildlife.
Director-General Noel Curran said: RT , with its long-established track record in nature-themed programming, is excited and proud to spear-head a celebration of what is wonderful about Ireland's natural history, landscape and biodiversity. We hope that this campaign will prompt individuals and families across the country to appreciate some of what remains amazing and captivating about Ireland.

Starting with the first episode of the highly-anticipated series Secrets of the Irish Landscape on 5th May and culminating with RT Goes Wild - Bioblitz Ireland, 2013, RT One will feature nature-themed content throughout May. Other highlights include the premiere of The Secret Life of the Shannon, a new series which brings viewers on a wonderful journey along the River Shannon and Save our Seahorses, a powerful documentary that follows Irish marine biologist Kealan Doyle on a fascinating journey from Sumatra to Hong Kong.
