We need an ambitious plan to manage 30% of our land and sea for nature by 2030.

• Introduce legally binding nature recovery targets to ensure that 30% of land and sea is managed for the benefit of nature by 2030.
• Manage all publicly owned land for nature by 2025
• Restore all nationally and internationally important designated sites, Local Wildlife Sites, and nature reserves to favourable conservation status by 2025

1. Ban the sale of peat-based compost in Wales by 2021 including banning imports of peat.
2. Ban the domestic sale of pesticides
3. Set up a Non-Native Species Inspectorate to implement INNS regulations.

Our world-leading legislation is ambitious, let’s realise this!  

1. Integrate biodiversity across government departments at all levels to ensure a nature-positive Welsh public sector
2. Promote and improve monitoring and enforcement of existing laws and policies.
3. Recognise nature role in addressing climate crisis through recognition and investment into nature based solutions
   1. Spend at least 20% of the flooding budget on nature-based solutions by 2021, increasing to 50% by 2024
   2. Invest 1% of the public health budget into preventative health care solutions by 2023
4. Develop new financial models to enable investment into natures recovery including new green levies

Adequate, long-term funding is essential for delivering the actions to restore nature and to combat climate change.

We need to create a Save our Species Fund to support conservation of some of Wales most threatened wildlife, so they do not drift into extinction. We do this by:

1. Review and reform existing public expenditure and procurement so that perverse and conflicting incentives are ended
2. Create a Save our Species Fund to support conservation of some of Wales most threatened wildlife, so they do not drift into extinction. 
3. Develop innovative funding mechanisms for combine and target private, public and charitable funds

The size of Wales doubles when we remember to take in our marine environment, we need to recognise this and protect it!

1. Deliver an ambitious network of well-managed Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) by 2025.
2. Invest in achieving Good Environmental Status in Welsh seas.
3. Future fisheries legislation and policies should take an ecosystem-based approach to minimises the impact of fishing on important marine habitat and species.
4. Ensure an adaptive management approach to marine renewable energy deployment to ensure no impacts on nature

Over 70% of Wales is farmed, so if farmland isn’t nature friendly then we will never reverse the loss of nature in Wales

1. Introduce a Sustainable Land Management Act, which has the recovery of nature, tackling climate change and the creation of sustainable practices at its heart.
2. Create a wider farming policy that embraces agroecological and regenerative agriculture.
3. Take urgent action to protect the environment from agricultural pollution, by introducing general binding rules
4. Promote efficient nitrogen use and safe storage set a target for reduction in nitrogen waste of 30% by 2030
5. Create a Welsh Pesticide Action Reduction Plan that enables a 50% reduction in agricultural use pesticide use by 2024 and fully adopting Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices.

Public bodies have recognised the Climate Crisis it’s time to fully recognise the ecological crisis.

1. All local authorities should declare an ecological crisis and act in their local area
2. Creating more naturalised areas, such as roadside nature reserves
3. Create 20% tree cover and green roofs and walls in our towns and cities
4. Requiring local authorities to create new, high quality, high biodiversity, parks for everyone
5. Limiting the use of pesticides (with exceptions for invasive non-native) by introducing non-chemical alternatives within 3 years.

Preventive health care has to be our future and nature has many of the answers!

1. Introduce Green Prescribing to promote active lifestyles which encourage physical and mental wellbeing.
2. Legislate for a Clean Air Act in Wales to address all formers of air pollution.
3. Introduce General Binding Rules and regulations to halt the water pollution in Wales

Wales is rich in woodlands and even has its own rainforest, but these must be safeguarded and linked together.

1. Deliver a significant expansion in Wales native woodlands including ancient woodlands and Atlantic oak woodlands known as ‘Wales rainforests’,
2. Review woodland grant schemes to support the expansion of farm woodlands, hedgerows and natural regeneration.
3. Recognise the management of new and existing woodlands through the provision of advice to land managers.

People reconnected with nature in lockdown let’s make this part of our future lives!

1. Only promote green industries which enhance, rather than damage, the environment.
2. Fund large-scale green infrastructure projects that create green jobs.
3. Create a Green Workforce through a National Nature Service
4. Develop a programme of nature rich urban green space provision that seeks to increase connectivity of habitats

Existing safeguards could be lost; Wales needs the same if not better environmental legislation after Brexit!

1. Introduce a strong environmental governance body that is free and accessible to all citizens
2. Develop human-rights based regulation that protects people’s right to a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment and protects nature.
3. Embed the precautionary principle, the prevention principle, the rectification at source principle, the polluter pays principle into Welsh primary legislation.
4. Maintain and strengthen environmental, animal welfare and food safety standards for Wales.
