An update of our progress toward the Welsh Parliament (formerly National Assembly for Wales (NAW)) petition \u2013 Biodiversity Remit for Natural Resources Wales (NRW).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you might be aware, the petition was formerly handed over to the NAW in February this year. Since then, the Petitions Committee, which is made up of several Members of the Senedd (MS) and chaired by Janet Finch-Saunders MS has been meeting and taking additional evidence from Wild Cymru as well as NRW and the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs (Lesley Griffiths MS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Halting and reversing the decline in nature<\/strong>\u2019 does now feature in the Minister\u2019s annual remit letter to NRW. However, despite some progress, there is a still lot more that needs to be done and Wild Cymru has therefore continued to provide evidence to the Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Petitions Committee is meeting on Tuesday 23rd<\/sup> June 2020 (9:00am) where they will be discussing the petition in more detail. Below is a link to the Welsh Parliament\u2019s website where you can view all submitted evidence and comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
