Pine Marten are one of the species this appeal will help.

A biodiverse, healthy ecosystem depends on a vast variety of species. By spotlighting a small number, we are better able to measure impact and engage targeted action. Each of our selected species are in Gwent, are threatened and this targeted work will benefit countless others.

How your support will help

We will focus action to protect ten vulnerable species in Gwent, including Barn Owl, Hedgehog, Nightjar, Pine Marten and Shrill Carder Bee. This will benefit the whole ecosystem, by restoring rich habitats and creating wildlife corridors.
