State of Nature 2023

Y flwyddyn nesaf, bydd etholiad cyffredinol yn y DU. Er bod yr amgylchedd, ffermio a physgodfeydd wedi’u datganoli (penderfyniadau’n cael eu gwneud yn eu cylch yng Nghaerdydd), rydyn ni'n parhau i fod angen i bleidleiswyr yng Nghymru anfon neges glir at ASau eu bod yn poeni am yr hyn sy’n digwydd i fyd natur.

Combatting the climate and nature emergency

We are in the middle of a climate and nature emergency, and the two are inextricably linked. Climate change is driving nature’s decline, and the loss of wildlife and wild places leaves us ill-equipped to reduce carbon emissions and adapt to change.
