Turning the tide for threatened species<\/h1>\n

Wales is home to remarkable wildlife, but many species are under pressure from habitat loss, changing land management and other human-driven pressures.<\/p>\n

Protecting what remains is vital. Reversing these declines demands action.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wild Cymru works directly to support species recovery across Wales, combining practical conservation with targeted interventions to give threatened wildlife a better chance of survival.<\/p>\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Our work includes supporting upland water voles, helping yellowhammers in farmland landscapes, and working to protect pied flycatchers in the Amman Valley. We also run a captive-rearing and release project for marsh fritillaries, helping to strengthen populations of this threatened butterfly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each species presents its own challenges. Effective recovery means understanding what wildlife needs, tackling the pressures it faces and taking action informed by evidence. Sometimes that means improving habitat; sometimes it means targeted support to help populations recover.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Species recovery is about more than saving individual animals or butterflies. It is about rebuilding populations, restoring ecological relationships and ensuring that threatened wildlife remains part of Wales\u2019s natural heritage.<\/div>\n \n \n \n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n\n\n\n
