Autumn 2011

Nature conservation is about taking the long view. Attitudes to leatherback turtles have changed over time, and long term monitoring of house sparrows has seen a decline in populations. Looking ahead, work is needed now to maintain populations of reptiles and lichens.

Summer 2011

It's ten years since Natur Cymru was launched. This special anniversary issue takes both a good look back at some successes and failures and a hard look forward at challenges still facing the wildlife of Wales.

Spring 2011

In this issue we travel to Pembrokeshire, a county full of contrasts. An affluent land of the retired, it is the only Welsh county with two conservative MPs but it is also riddled with feisty eco-pioneers. It has led Welsh policy change to make room for sustainable lifestyles in low impact homes and also has the most organic food businesses, local food markets, wholefood shops, wood pellet stoves, green fairs and complementary practitioners. You could go there just to feast your eyes on its beautiful hills and coast but, for the people who live there, there's more to it than that. Sustainable farming projects benefit both local businesses and the natural wildlife, while a careful renovation of property safeguarded a roost of rare bats.

Winter 2010

This issue moves between two worlds - amphibians live on land and in water, shingle ridges perform an important service between land and sea, and 200 years ago the building of William Maddocks' great embankment, the Cob at Porthmadog, drastically altered the Glaslyn estuary and the wildlife that lives there. Will the Welsh Assembly Government's Natural Environment Framework move us from a world of waste and destruction to one of increased biodiversity, sustainable development and a workable strategy for coping with climate change? Let's hope so. This issue also sees our first Letters page - let us have your views on what is happening with wildlife in Wales.

Autumn 2010

This issue features more entries for our 'Inspired by Nature' writing competition – they are too good not to publish. In Spring we conducted a reader survey and it was heartening to read the responses. Many of you asked for a letters page, but for that we need letters! Have you got something to say? Write or email us with your thoughts. Two articles in this issue, on badgers and fencing in the uplands, should provide plenty of scope for discussion.
