Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is calling for urgent, collective action across all sectors to help some of Wales’ most important habitats and species recover, as it publishes the first full Wales-wide assessment of their conservation status.

The report published today, (22 January 2026), provides a clearer, more detailed picture of the state of some of our most threatened species and habitats in Wales than ever before. It integrates information on habitats and non-bird species of international significance and all birds in Wales, providing a comprehensive account of their trends, pressures and conservation measures.

The evidence establishes an essential benchmark for efforts to halt biodiversity and nature loss, and forms a key evidence source feeding into Wales’ State of Natural Resources Report (SoNaRR 2025)
