Nature Positive
Nature is in serious decline. One in six species in Wales are at risk of extinction, meaning that when today’s young people are older, some of the most iconic species of the British countryside could already have been lost forever.
We’re committed to fostering thriving ecosystems in Wales and globally through our ‘Nature Positive’ campaign. Simply put, our aim is to ensure that by 2030, there will be more nature in Wales, and in the world, than in 2020 – with ongoing recovery beyond that. Our goal is to see an increase in biodiversity and thriving habitats when compared to today. Through Nature Positive, we aim to preserve and improve species health and habitats, ensure clean and healthy rivers and streams, and promote sustainable food and agricultural practices.
However, The Welsh Government has dragged its feet. Nature and Welsh communities continue to suffer as a result.
We advocate for clear legislative measures that enshrine a commitment to a Nature Positive Wales, with legally binding targets that ensure a fairer future for our communities and the environment. To uphold its reputation as a world leader in tackling the nature emergency, the Welsh Government must bring forward a Bill this year, in the 2024-25 legislative programme, that:
- Enshrines a commitment to a Nature Positive Wales in law, underpinned by legally binding nature recovery targets.
- Ensures environmental justice for the people of Wales by establishing an independent environmental governance body.
Together, we can cultivate empowered communities where local economies thrive, and where nature flourishes for the benefit of our future generations.
Have you ever felt alone in caring about nature or in caring about climate change? This film is for you!
‘Cysylltiad’ is a short nature-documentary exploring Welsh stories of Hope, Nature and Connection.
The film was a huge collaborative effort from many of Climate Cymru’s partner organisations. Many of these partners provided stunning footage of Welsh landscapes, flora and fauna, and shared their deeply moving nature memories.
Interviews with the general public were completely spontaneous, where participants were posed the questions: “What is your favourite childhood memory of being in nature?” and “What nature-memories would you like to gift to our future generations?”. These interviews spanned the entire breadth of Wales, from Cardiff to Holyhead.
Every single interviewee had a beautiful nature memory and a profound want for our future generations to experience similar experiences.
Cysylltiad aims to spotlight and celebrate the remarkable efforts and unsung heroes from across Wales, inspiring a shift in narrative towards citizen engagement and hope for a brighter tomorrow.
