Welsh public wants urgent action for nature, poll reveals (www.birdguides.com)

A new poll has revealed that the Welsh public wants to see urgent action taken to protect wildlife.

The Omnibus survey, undertaken by Beaufort Research, revealed that 74% of people in the country agreed there should be targets set in law for nature. Meanwhile, 77% would like to see more nature thriving in local green spaces – and 76% believe that current and future governments need to take more action to tackle the loss of nature.

The most recent report on the State of Nature in Wales showed that one in six species are threatened with extinction nationally and there has been a 20% decline in Wales' wildlife since 1994. Earlier this year, the damning report questioned the Welsh government's promises to tackle nature loss and increase biodiversity in the country.
