Help us launch a groundbreaking Nature Investigations Unit amid the growing environmental crisis - Initiative for Nature Conservation Cymru (INNC)

A new initiative aimed at tackling the deepening environmental crisis in Wales is gaining momentum, as conservationists rally public support to launch a pioneering Nature Investigations Unit.

The project, developed by the Initiative for Nature Conservation Cymru (INCC), seeks to hold environmental decision-makers to account and reverse the alarming decline of wildlife and habitats across the country.

The proposed unit will bring together a team of experienced journalists, campaigners, and researchers tasked with investigating the root causes of nature’s decline in Wales. Their work will focus on exposing harmful policies, challenging inaction, and proposing evidence-based solutions to restore biodiversity and protect the natural environment.

“Nature in Wales is in a terrible state,” said Iolo Williams, naturalist, broadcaster, and Honorary President of INCC. “A large part of that is a government that doesn’t seem to care about wildlife, and the almost complete absence of a statutory environmental body. If we are ever going to reverse the woeful position wildlife finds itself in, then we need to hold decision makers to account. INCC’s project will do just that.”
