Campaigns - Wales

October was very exciting and busy month for us here in Kwale, Kenya. We met new people, developed new solutions to ever emerging challenges and hosted WWF staff from across the globe. Staff gathered to learn and share experience about community based conservation work. Let me share some of these exciting moments with you. The […]

Plastic pollution is choking our oceans and harming wildlife – and it’s time to make it a thing of the past. It’s fitting that one of our best known Welsh cultural institutions is helping lead the drive to phase out unnecessary single use plastic, and raise awareness of the problem. As part of WWF’s Earth […]

Avoiding single use plastic in our daily lives can be hard work. Whether it’s at the supermarket, at work or out socialising, plastic is all around us. Individuals, businesses and governments all have an important role to play. The choices we make as consumers are greatly influenced by producer and retailer decisions, which in turn […]

Mae pawb yn siarad am blastig y dyddiau hyn. Er bod ni mor lwcus bod arfordir anhygoel ar ein stepen drws, nid yw Cymru’n gallu dianc y gwastraff sy’n llifo mewn â’r llanw. Gwellt yfed, poteli, cwpanau coffi, weips, brwshys dannedd…mae plastig untro yn symbol amlwg o’n cymdeithas ‘taflu-i-ffwrdd’ a’r niwed mae’n gwneud i’n byd. […]

Wales’ unique coastal environment and seas attracts a wealth of creatures. From vibrant corals to sparkling slugs and seahorses, our seas are far more tropical than we think! Every single sea creature on this list needs a healthy marine environment to thrive. Around 75% of Wales’ coastline and over 35% of our seas are Marine […]

Five counties make up Kenya’s incredible coastline: Kwale, Kilifi, Mombasa, Lamu, and Tana River County. Sadly, what often comes to mind when thinking about Tana River County is hostile climatic conditions, hunger, conflict, insecurity, and human suffering. But spend time in Tana River County and you will be amazed by the opportunities that exist. The […]

The arrival today of the first ever marine plan for Wales is a significant moment in the history of our maritime nation. Traditionally, the approach taken to marine management has been manage the needs of each sector (fishing, energy, tourism, energy) separately. The Welsh National Marine Plan is our attempt to move beyond this. Instead, […]

The MockCOP provides a platform for students to debate and vote on global issues – a rare opportunity for many 14-18 year olds. Held at an actual debating chamber in Cardiff, the event replicates the United Nations climate change conference. Students become delegates for the day and must agree to a resolution on climate change issues. […]
