Ateb
Atebwyd gan Minister for Climate Change
Through our Nature Networks Fund, support has been provided for a number of projects relating to birds, for example:
1. In North Wales, the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust has been awarded £999,600 to roll out the ‘Wales Curlew Connections, Cysylltu Gylfinir Cymru’ project. Work addresses up to seven Important Curlew Areas (ICAs) including the Mynydd Hiraethog Site of Specical Scientific Interest (SSSI), Migneint-Arenig- Dduallt SSSI, Ruabon / Llantysilio Mountains and Minera SSSI.
2. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds has secured a £249,713 grant for its ‘Biosecurity for Wales’ project. The focus of this project is to prevent the establishment of non-native mammal predators, such as rats, which can prey on ground-nesting seabirds at a wide range of seabird sites along the Welsh coastline, including North Wales’ seabird islands.
Welsh Government also provides support for the Natural Resources Wales (NRW) led Natur am Byth project which compliments the Nature Networks Fund which aims, to save species from extinction and reconnect people with nature. Through this programme, NRW working in partnership is delivering a number of community led projects throughout Wales over the next few years.. Natural Resources Wales / Natur am byth!
