Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. When we think of the natural world, we think about abundance, don't we—lush forests, epic mountainsides, roaring rivers. But the natural world is made up of co-dependent ecosystems, food chains and habitats that interweave and interconnect, and once you start to chip away at any part of it, it has an indelible impact on the whole.

Plaid Cymru has brought forward today's debate because we believe there is a nature emergency that co-exists alongside the climate emergency, and that unless we tackle these crises together, we will not overcome either. But, Dirprwy Lywydd, whilst we have targets for carbon emissions, there is no corresponding mechanism for nature, no targets to track how we will limit and reverse biodiversity loss. And just on that point, I'd like to take a step out for a moment of talking just about figures, targets, acronyms or technical words that can make some people switch off. What we're talking about is plant life, animal life, the beauty that makes our nation and our world magnificent, the stuff that makes poets compose poems, that makes musicians sing and soar, the land we have inherited and which we hope to pass on to future generations. It's something worth fighting for. It's something worth preserving, nurturing, ensuring we retain and celebrate it.
