The work The Wildlife Trusts do to protect wildlife on land and at sea. Saving the UK’s wildlife and wild places and helping them to recover from past losses and damage has been a central aim of The Wildlife Trusts throughout our history.

For over a decade, The Wildlife Trusts have campaigned with other environmental organisations in the UK for new laws to provide better protection for marine habitats and wildlife. As a result, the ground-breaking Marine and Coastal Access Act (Marine Act) was introduced in November 2009, providing UK Government with the tools needed to revolutionise the management of our marine environment. Wildlife Trusts Wales are calling for the Marine Act to be effectively implemented in Wales, and the opportunities provided by the Act seized to ensure real benefits for biodiversity around the Welsh coast.

It’s old news that the world needs to get its act together and move away from fossil fuels and move to renewable and low-carbon ways to produce the energy we need. Hence, the UK Government have commissioned the French company EDF to build a new nuclear power plant just across the Seven Estuary at Hinckley known as Hinkley Point C.
