Building with wildlife in mind can have big benefits for people as well – research has shown that contact with nature is good for our health and wellbeing. Green spaces can also improve air quality, lower flood risk and provide places for the local community to come together.

We are an independent charity with a mission to save wildlife and wild spaces and to make nature part of life, for everyone. We are working to create and enhance wildlife havens, create Living Landscapes and Living Seas and manage some of the region’s most precious wild places from magnificent islands to ancient woodlands.

Our rivers are in danger. Pollution chokes our waters, rubbish covers the banks, and people and wildlife suffer. We need to act fast to Save our Taff.

What to do if you see wildlife being harmed by development that is taking place Do not approach or engage with the developer. Construction sites can be dangerous.

Take part in The Wildlife Trusts' 12 Days of Wild Christmas! We're encouraging everyone to spend 12 Days Wild this year, and get outdoors during the festive period. Sign up and we'll give you lots of advice and tips to help you to take part.

Dramatic uplands, coastal landscapes, ancient woodlands, sunny meadows and lush wetlands - there is so much to explore!

As well as working towards overall Living Landscapes and Living Seas, we lead on a variety of partnership projects across south and west Wales. From species reintroductions, tackling invasive non-native species, community nature restoration and more.
