Ten Priority Species for Gwent
We are focusing our conservation efforts on ten priority wildlife species.
A biodiverse, healthy, functioning ecosystem depends on a vast variety of species. But by spotlighting a small number, we are far better able to measure impact and engage targeted action.
LAUNCHING FRIDAY, 5th JUNE... Enjoy this short film (5 minutes) featuring each of these incredible wildlife all filmed here in Gwent!
Each of our selected species occur in Gwent, are threatened and feature in the Greater Gwent State of Nature Report (2021.) It was also important in our selection criteria, that targeted work for chosen species would benefit countless other species in varied habitats across Gwent.
