Surely one of the wildlife organisations that delivers most for nature in Cymru? Can you imagine how much more they could do if they had more support?
If you don’t already do so, please give as much as you can to Cymru Wyllt / Wild Cymru 🙏

Siawns mai dyma un o'r sefydliadau bywyd gwyllt sy'n cyflawni fwyaf dros natur yng Nghymru? Allwch chi ddychmygu faint mwy y gallen nhw ei wneud pe bai ganddyn nhw fwy o gefnogaeth?
Os nad ydych chi eisoes yn gwneud hynny, cyfrannwch cymaint ag y gallwch i Cymru Wyllt 🙏

Will be interesting to see how this plays out in the environmental space.
It's a running meme in Wales that their environmental policy is written by the farming unions. As they become a more progressive party with a younger base & enter into rainbow coalitions, can the contradictions be reconciled?
Spot on 👇 So frustrating.
We were very glad to welcome Country Focus for BBC Wales to our Llwyndewi Nature reserve in Carmarthenshire to show all the work we are doing to restore biodiversity onsite. You can listen here from about 14 minutes in: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

My first #bumblebee of 2026 on the wing today (12/02) in Cardiff. Buff-tailed?

“The FUW [Farmers' Union of Wales] remains fundamentally opposed to rewilding, given the clear evidence of the ecological harm and economic risks it poses"
Same article: this image of the landscape they're describing, prior to its purchase for rewilding.
Think the FUW needs some new arguments.
Also the major university of North Wales. Also specialists in all kinds of important environmental disciplines.
Kindly fuck off Isabel. Stay in Dubai where your real loyalties lie.
Brilliant reply 😂
🍃A big day today as Tir Natur, Wales' biggest (and only large) rewilding project is live. I've been critical of some rewilding projects in the past, and will continue to be where I see a need.
I'm going to try and explain why I've been volunteering to help this project, and why it's important (1/N)
Newyddion bendigedig! Excellent news!
And there’s a CrowdFunder so that we can help support this fantastic project:
