The impacts of changing climates locally include increased flooding, increased river and land temperatures, and damage to soils. These unseasonal weather patterns are causing habitats to change and are creating a challenging environment for many of our species, who are already struggling for survival. There are 135 identified critical-list species that Swindon and Wiltshire are vital for supporting. We must act now to save them from extinction.

To achieve our goal of nature being in recovery, we must: • Enhance biodiversity and create resilience across our reserves and landholdings, embracing the best of the latest technology and nature-based solutions. • Undertake increased monitoring to identify and scale effective habitat management practices that support the 135 listed critical species • Increase our work with other landowners and farmers, in support of actions, to deliver natures recovery.
