Alun Davies responds to State of Nature report
Welsh minister Alun Davies is hosting a Summit today (Wednesday 24, May), at the Royal Welsh Show, where he will discuss methods to halt the loss of wildlife in Wales.
The event was launched in response to the State of Nature report, which was in May this year, revealing that 60 per cent of British wildlife species have declined over the past 50 years.
Sir David Attenborough spoke at the launch of the report in London, while Iolo Williams announced the launch in Cardiff, appealing to politicians, conservationists and the people of Wales to address the rapid population declines.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) was among 25 different wildlife organisations involved with compiling the report.
Along with its partners, the charity has said it is eagerly awaiting Mr Davies' speech to find out what steps will be taken to deal with the rapid loss of wildlife.
As the report was launched in May, Mr Davies committed tackling the challenge head-on. A list of recommendations from the partnership include: taking urgent steps to protect species on the brink of extinction, monitoring changes in wildlife, and restoring and creating new habitats.
The State of Nature report can be found on the RSPB's website.
