In Feb, we were lucky enough to see peregrine falcons in person with their new Champion, Mark Drakeford! They were flying around City Hall, putting on a great show Thank you to @jameshitch.bsky.social & @robthomasbirds.bsky.social for your excellent hosting and telescope-providing #SpeciesChampions

Happy International Women’s Day! A great way to mark it is by signing up for the Everyone’s Environment report launch next week on Thurs 12th March, 11am; it's a new briefing on how climate and nature breakdown impacts women & girls across the UK. Register here: www.thinknpc.org/events-and-t...

It's nearly that time of year... time to grill the Senedd parties on what they'll do for the environment! Our Nature & Climate Hustings - hosted jointly with the excellent @climatecymru.bsky.social - will be on Wed 8th April at Chapter Arts. Book your seat here: actionnetwork.org/events/sened...

On Tuesday, the Senedd passed the Environment (Principles, Governance, and Biodiversity Targets) (Wales) Bill. This is a huge moment for Welsh environmental law. greenallianceblog.org.uk/2026/02/25/w...

After 9 years of campaigning, the Environment (Principles, Governance & Biodiversity Targets) Bill finally passed on Tuesday. We will continue to work to ensure the promises of the Bill are kept; a strong OEGW, citizens' access to justice & rebuilding our biodiversity. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Campaign for National Parks - @campaign4parks.bsky.social - are launching their Rivers at Risk campaign today: www.cnp.org.uk/support/camp... 48% of rivers in Welsh National Parks are failing to meet a good ecological standard, according to their Rivers at Risk report.

Here's our latest blog with @wclnews.bsky.social about Ofwat's new Clear Waters programme, making sure we can see what environmental benefits will come from water company investment, alongside things like upgrades or new infrastructure. waleslink.org/clear-waters...

1/2. Protect Reservoir Wood: Llandough's nature rich and irreplaceable Ancient Woodland. You can't keep bulldozing unique & long established habitats & deliver meaningful climate adaptation, nature's restoration. @waleslink.bsky.social Sign the Petition www.change.org/p/protect-re...

We welcome the Green Paper on water system reform published today by @huwirrancadaviesms.bsky.social & its proposals that we desperately need for water quality. You can read it as a new consultation here: www.gov.wales/green-paper-... And see the BBC Wales story here: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The largest water industry settlement is being paid for by customers, but what will it deliver for nature? Our latest blog explains why clearer, more transparent reporting on environmental outcomes is essential. Find the blog here: wcl.org.uk/clear-waters...

The State of Natural Resources (SoNaRR) report is Wales' environmental report card & we're failing on every measure. The story below is worth a read; full report here: cdn.cyfoethnaturiol.cymru/f45ehjei/son... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Toads on Roads is one of Froglife’s most under-funded projects, yet it saves thousands of toads every year. Donations help support volunteers, manage data and reduce wildlife road deaths. Help save toads this breeding season: https://ow.ly/xQe950Y3QiZ #ToadsOnRoads2026 📷 Chris Pook

This was a super helpful event from an active Cross Party Group, doing valuable work between MSs and environmental organisations. Included was a great booklet they've produced about all the actions the next Welsh Gov needs to take to truly tackle waste problems: waleslink.org/wp-content/u...

Here's our latest blog from @rspbcymru.bsky.social on if our most at-risk and precious species are really being helped by sites designated for them. SSSIs, SACs, SPAs, 'designated landscapes', nature reserves... whatever you call them, how are they doing for nature? waleslink.org/protected-si...

We’re here to support the excellent @nffn.bsky.social Wales with their Weatherproof Farming asks. @llyrgruffydd.bsky.social is sponsoring the event, which highlights the needs of farmers in adapting to more unpredictable weather patterns - flooding, dry summers & unpredictable winters.

This is really problematic; the only bid for being the Management Organisation for a new Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) in Wales objects to the parameters Ministers have set for a better, more progressive DRS (than the UK's) that includes glass & container re-use. www.thegrocer.co.uk/news/welsh-d...

Important report from @natreswales.bsky.social: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Since 2000, "Wales has already witnessed the loss of 11 species, with the European turtle dove and belted beauty moth becoming geographically extinct. The Species in Peril report warns others could face a similar fate".

Green Alliance's Ruth Chambers argues that the new Environment Bill and the OEGW could fill our environmental governance gap, but the new body must be given the legal duty and resources to ensure its independence and delivery. 👉 https://ow.ly/VaqC50XsYAX Wales Environment Link #thewelshagenda

It's essential to the wellbeing of our rural economies and that of our natural environment that the economic modelling for the SFS is based on up-to-date data, and that it considers the scheme as a whole. The SFS has been watered down plenty. Enough.

Yesterday, Welsh Gov published its economic modelling for the Sustainable Farming Scheme. The analysis is far from robust, in our opinion, and only looks at the universal layer's (the entry level) impact on farms, not the Scheme as a whole. Check out our response ⬇️ waleslink.org/business-cas...
