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.

( ) In the first paragraph, the word bearing acts as a present participle that introduces a reduced relative clause describing the T-shirt.
( ) In the sixth paragraph, the verbal forms evicted and dismissed function as past participles in a passive voice structure where the subject receives the action.

I- Cohesion refers to the linguistic links and cues within a text (such as pronouns, conjunctions, and ellipsis) that connect one part of the sentence or text to another.
II- Coherence is primarily concerned with the underlying semantic logic and the “make-sense-ness” of a text, often relying on the reader's world knowledge and the context of situation.
III- The use of conjunctions (e.g., however, therefore) is a mechanism of lexical cohesion, whereas the use of synonyms and superordinates represents grammatical cohesion.
IV- A text may possess high grammatical cohesion but lack coherence if the linked sentences do not follow a logical progression of ideas or fail to relate to a central theme.
