Living Wales

The Living Wales Working Group is engaged with Welsh Government and Natural Resources Wales (the newly created body responsible for the use, maintenance and enhancement of the environment) in their work to develop and embed the ecosystem approach in Wales. This includes examining the emerging ecosystem approach framework and Natural Resource Management Planning, and influencing the development of the Environment Bill, expected in 2015.

Much of this activity builds on the work initiated by the Wales Environment Strategy.
