Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Can I thank Joyce Watson for tabling a debate on this topic, on World Environment Day, and also to John Griffiths for sponsoring the event at lunchtime, which I was pleased to speak at?

I think Joyce made a very pertinent point when she said we are at a pivotal moment in relation to the climate change emergency. And I absolutely agree—we do have a biodiversity crisis too. As a Government, our natural resources policy is built around a commitment to increasing the resilience of Wales's ecosystems. We believe that rewilding, as a carefully managed process, does have the potential to be part of the solution. And I think Llyr referred to this when—. I think we've got to define the meaning of 'rewilding'. I think that's very important, because it can divide opinion, with some associating the concept with the widespread abandonment of land that had previously been in productive use, or the reintroduction of iconic species from the distant past into rural areas at random. So, Welsh Government, obviously, does not support a policy of abandoning land or animals in that way. However, if rewilding is to mean the positive restoration or creation of habitats to contribute to the building of resilient, ecological networks, then we believe this can help to bring a range of environmental and other benefits to the well-being of Welsh communities.
