Lord of the Plants:
Death Metal Eco-Baron Rewilds Irish Estate
Randal Plunkett, the 21st Baron of Dunsany, strides out of his Irish castle in a T-shirt bearing the name of death metal band "Cannibal Corpse" in bloody lettering.
In the distance, a russet-coloured stag appears for a moment, before dissolving into the 750 acres (300 hectares) of ancestral estate Plunkett has surrendered to the wilderness -- almost half of his lands.
"I felt a sort of sense of duty towards the environment here," said Plunkett, perched on a decaying tree trunk sprouting a clutch of mushrooms.
"I'm a caretaker of this estate for this generation and the estate is not just the castle, it's also the land but it's also the environment," the aristocrat told AFP, his mane of shoulder-length hair rippling in the breeze.
Eight years ago, death metal fan Plunkett, whose family have presided over Dunsany Castle northwest of Dublin for nine centuries, began his "radical" rewilding project.
The 38-year-old vegan, an unlikely successor to ancestors depicted in sober portraits lining the walls of the grey stone castle, evicted livestock and dismissed lawnmowers to allow nature to take its course.
Now, the results are plain. The ultra-rare pine marten has been spotted. Otters and red deer thrive.
Skies are jammed with birds: buzzards, red kites, peregrine falcons, sparrowhawks, kestrels and snipes.
Plunkett says a woodpecker has been sighted in the area for the first time in a century.
Beyond the castle crenellations, the lawn is transformed into a swirling morass of 23 species of grass, fizzing with insect life.
Plunkett lends a hand here and there -- planting 2,500 trees last year was no small feat -- but mostly he is hands-off.
"As I watched it, I began to understand what the land was doing," he said after trudging across a field of knotted undergrowth in a faux leather jacket.
"It became a rewilding project," he said, as two Jack Russell terriers named Beavis and Butt-head gambol around his vegan-friendly Doc Martens boots.

The Language of Performance
Well, the word “performative” is generally meant as an insult. It’s meant to trivialize and indicate that someone is play-acting or “faking it.” It suggests that someone is only doing something to be seen doing it, and not because it represents a sincere interest or enjoyment.
This is one of those situations in which metaphors are overextended, and language distorts rather than describes natural human behavior. It is normal for our species for men and women to “perform” acts to impress both our own sex and the opposite sex. Males and females have different sex “roles,” and we “perform” acts to satisfy those roles.
The language seems to “portray” us as “actors performing roles” and implies that we are all essentially “lying” or “faking.” This is the kind of wordcel wordtrap that lends itself to Marxist gender theory ideology and postmodernist thinking.
“Nothing is real, everything is fake. Everything is a performance.”
That’s a frame, but it isn’t the whole picture.
Men are primates. We imitate each other. Monkey see, monkey do. And yes, we do things to try to impress each other. You can frame that in a way that seems trivial or superficial, but it is also foundational to human nature and social hierarchy.
