A large part of that is a government that doesn\u2019t seem to care about wildlife, and the almost complete absence of a statutory environmental body. If we are ever going to reverse the woeful position wildlife finds itself in, then we need to hold decision makers to account. Wild Cymru&#8217;s project will do just that.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; white-space: normal; caret-color: rgb(66, 66, 66); color: rgb(66, 66, 66); font-family: &quot;Segoe Sans&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Web (West European)&quot;, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);\">\u2014&nbsp;<\/span><em style=\"font-size: 16px; white-space: normal; caret-color: rgb(66, 66, 66); color: rgb(66, 66, 66); font-family: &quot;Segoe Sans&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Web (West European)&quot;, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif;\">Iolo Williams, TV Presenter, Naturalist &amp; Wild Cymru Honorary President<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is this needed?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a difficult truth:&nbsp;<strong>the nature conservation sector in Wales is losing the battle to protect wildlife and habitats<\/strong>. Years of government cuts, the weakening of statutory bodies, and the degradation of our most important wildlife sites are symptoms of a system that no longer prioritises nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This cannot continue. We need a new approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the next three years, we aim to lead a fundamental shift in how nature conservation operates in Wales \u2014 by placing accountability at the heart of the sector. We will challenge poor decisions, expose harmful inaction, and advocate for better outcomes for wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We\u2019re nearly there \u2014 but we need your help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve already raised over\u00a0<strong>\u00a3180,000<\/strong>, but we need your support to reach our goal and launch this vital initiative.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdfunder.co.uk\/p\/stop-the-war-on-nature\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Donate now <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How you can help:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdfunder.co.uk\/p\/stop-the-war-on-nature\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.crowdfunder.co.uk\/p\/stop-the-war-on-nature\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Donate<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Share<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 Spread the word with friends, family, colleagues, and on social media.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Create<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 Make and share videos about why nature matters to you and why you\u2019re supporting this project.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Engage your employer<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 Ask your workplace to support our mission.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, we can&nbsp;<strong>stop the war on nature<\/strong>&nbsp;and build a future where wildlife in Wales can thrive.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nature in Wales is in crisis.
