Promises to tackle nature loss and boost biodiversity by the Welsh government have been called into question in a highly critical report.

The Senedd's environment committee, external warned ministers lacked a "plan, action and investment" to reverse worrying declines in wildlife.

One in six species - such as water voles and curlews - are currently at risk of vanishing from Wales, which has seen a 20% decrease on average in its wildlife over the last 30 years.

The Welsh government said it was "committed to tackling the nature emergency" and would consider the report's 30 recommendations.
