The committee found that important documents meant to guide the Welsh government's biodiversity work, such as the natural resources policy (NRP), which sets out priorities and risks, were years out of date. The NRP was published in 2018. This clearly illustrates that there has been a lack of timely and effective responses to the urgent crisis facing Wales's biodiversity, compromising future conservation efforts and initiatives.
Llyr Gruffydd, the committee chair, pointed out, 'Wales's nature is disappearing at an alarming rate. After decades of pollution, urbanisation and the impact of climate change, Wales's nature is in trouble. It's clear that this is because there has been little investment or action to make good on promises.' This encapsulates the dire situation confronting Welsh wildlife as legislative promises remain unfulfilled.
