Uncovering the truth about what\u2019s happening to Wales\u2019 wild places.<\/h1>\n
\n
\n

From wildlife crime and habitat destruction to failing environmental protections, we investigate the issues putting Welsh nature at risk.<\/p>\n

Combining investigative journalism, conservation expertise and evidence-led research, we ask difficult questions, challenge those in power and expose the problems that others overlook.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Our investigations<\/p>\n \n\n

Through investigations including One in Five, we\u2019re uncovering the pressures driving wildlife decline in Wales and exposing what needs to change.
\r\n
\r\nWe follow the evidence, challenge complacency and turn complex environmental issues into stories that demand attention.
\r\n
\r\nOur first report; \u201cProtecting Wildlife from Wildfires and Illegal Grassland Burns\u2019 has revealed evidence to suggest that illegal grassland burning is taking place, and that there is a huge data gap in the reporting of such events. Wales is the UK\u2019s \u2018Wildfire Capital\u2019 and the damage to wildlife is unfathomable. Things must change.
