The RSPB has leapt into action on Pen Llŷn and Ynys Môn (the Llŷn Peninsula and the Isle of Anglesey) to safeguard the future of 17 threatened species. Starting last summer, it’s one of 11 national projects comprising the four-year Natur am Byth heritage and outreach partnership led by Natural Resources Wales, bringing together nine major conservation organisations. We’re working with existing networks across key habitats to empower local communities and land managers to save rare species living on their doorstep.
We’ll be protecting Curlew nests from predation, managing heathland for Cladonia peziziformis lichen and Spotted Rock-rose as well as tackling invasive scrub on fens to help invertebrates such as Black Night-runner ground beetle, Desmoulin’s Whorl Snail and Six-spotted Cranefly.
