COP26
Wrth i lywodraethau byd-eang ddod at ei gilydd yn COP26, ni fu'r angen i fynd i'r afael â'r argyfwng hinsawdd erioed yn gliriach. Ac eto ni allwn fynd i'r afael â'r argyfwng hinsawdd heb uchelgais debyg i gwrdd â'r argyfwng natur yn uniongyrchol. Darganfyddwch pam mae COP26 mor bwysig, yr hyn y mae'r Ymddiriedolaethau Natur eisiau ei weld o COP26, a sut y byddwn yn rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i gefnogwyr ar draws y digwyddiad.

Gwarchod Ein Moroedd
Ers dros ddegawd, mae'r Ymddiriedolaethau Natur wedi ymgyrchu gyda sefydliadau amgylcheddol eraill yn y DU am gyfreithiau newydd i ddarparu gwell amddiffyniad i gynefinoedd morol a bywyd gwyllt. O ganlyniad, cyflwynwyd Deddf y Môr a Mynediad i’r Arfordir (Deddf Forol) sy’n torri tir newydd ym mis Tachwedd 2009, gan roi’r offer sydd eu hangen ar Lywodraeth y DU i chwyldroi rheolaeth ein hamgylchedd morol. Mae Ymddiriedolaethau Natur Cymru yn galw am weithredu Deddf y Môr yn effeithiol yng Nghymru, a manteisio ar y cyfleoedd a ddarperir gan y Ddeddf i sicrhau manteision gwirioneddol i fioamrywiaeth o amgylch arfordir Cymru.
