Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs – in the Senedd at 1:56 pm on 3 February 2021.
Minister, it is good to see so many Members of the Senedd serving as species champions and working with wildlife groups. I'm the species champion for the water vole, which I'm pleased to say is thriving on the Gwent levels, and the Gwent levels themselves help us achieve biodiversity. As you know, Minister, I'm chairing a Gwent levels working group to look at how we enhance and better protect that area, and the living levels partnership have done some really good work with communities to make sure that all the local issues are addressed. Would you agree with me that if we're going to see the sort of biodiversity we want in Wales, we do need to make sure that areas like the Gwent levels are better protected into the future?
