It’s no secret that the natural world is in trouble. Wildlife is disappearing at an alarming rate and the threat of climate catastrophe is a constant worry. There is a way to tackle both of these critical issues, but we have to act now. Time is running out.

On this page you will find advice on what to do if you come across sick, injured or abandoned animals. There are many Rescue Centre's which will provide care for a variety of animals. Read further for contact details.

At The Wildlife Trust of South & West Wales, we’re passionate about using the Welsh language to connect people with Welsh wildlife. Whatever your ability, we have a range of events where you can learn more about wildlife in Welsh.

It's vital that today's young people have the opportunities to form life-long connections to nature and have their say in creating a wilder future. Whether that's through fun activities with the family, learning at school, joining Wildlife Watch, or being part of a youth forum, we want to bring nature into the everyday lives of young people and help them connect and be inspired to stand up for nature.

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.

The Sustainability Appraisal, Strategic Environmental Assessment (often called SA/SEA), and Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA) are tests of the Local Development Plan (or Strategic Development Plan). They look at the effects of the plan on the environment, social, economic and cultural well-being, as well as the use of the Welsh language. The SA/SEA and HRA process runs alongside the Local Development Plan process, and you can comment on the SA/SEA and HRA themselves.

From visiting a nature reserve to joining a guided walk, volunteering or fundraising, there are loads of ways you can get outside and help look after yourself, experience local wildlife and work to help nature.
