Our vision for a Wilder Gwent
People close to nature in a landscape rich in wildlife.
Our strategy to 2030
We're putting nature in recovery whilst addressing the climate crisis that threatens Gwent’s people and wildlife.Â
The natural world is in a critical condition, facing a dual climate and ecological emergency. But if we act now and together, we can put nature into recovery. These strategic goals set out what we believe needs to happen by 2030 in pursuit of our longer term vision of a thriving natural world. Whilst set out as distinct, these goals are interdependent and highly connected.

Nature is in Recovery

with wildlife 20% more abundant and diverse on our Nature Reserves.
10 nationally threatened species are less vulnerable in Gwent.
200 important sites for nature have improved connectivity.
