NPT Local Nature Partnership

Conserving, protecting and enhancing the nature of Neath Port Talbot

We achieve our aims by creating partnerships between people that protect and care for nature in NPT, gathering information on the conservation of species and habitats in NPT, supporting the development of projects that are contributing to the aims of the Partnership, developing new projects to address local priorities and providing an advisory function on the subject of the state of nature and nature recovery in NPT.

THE STATE OF NATURE IN NPT

An assessment of the State of Nature of our county has revealed that nature in NPT is in trouble and at risk from threats such as climate change and development. Urgent actions are required to improve the resilience of NPT’s biodiversity, in particular the coastal, heathland and moorland and semi-natural grassland habitats.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

Nature conservation begins at home and there are steps we can all take, wherever or whoever we are, to help preserve the natural heritage of NPT.

Our Nature Recovery Action Plan

An assessment of the state of nature in NPT is the first step towards achieving a sustainable, healthy environment, which will provide all of us and future generations of NPT with an inspiring place to live. The actions that are suggested on this website are our road map to this; our Nature Recovery Action Plan.
