We need your help to create a Nature Investigations Unit for Wales - to help stop the ongoing attack on nature and to hold environmental decision makers to account.
Our Nature Investigations Unit will consist of experienced Journalists, Campaigners and Researchers who will help uncover, expose and challenge the issues affecting nature recovery in Wales, along with proposing appropriate solutions.
"Nature in Wales is in a terrible state. A large part of that is a government that doesn’t seem to care about wildlife, and the almost complete absence of a statutory environmental body. If we are ever going to reverse the woeful position wildlife finds itself in, then we need to hold decision makers to account. INCC's project will do just that. It will challenge and expose the actions and inactions of those that nature should be able to rely on".
Iolo Williams
TV Presenter, Naturalist & INCC Honorary President
Why do we need this? It is hard to admit, but the nature conservation sector in Wales is losing its fight to save wildlife and habitats. Central to this critical decline is the continuing failure of Government and its statutory body Natural Resources Wales to fulfil their roles.
Cuts in funding, cuts to conservation staff and the demise of our most precious wildlife sites across Wales are all symptoms of a Government that does not value nature.
This must change. We need to start doing things differently.
Over the next three years we want to pioneer a fundamental shift in the nature conservation sector that will see greater emphasis being placed on holding environmental decision makers to account.
We want to achieve this by exposing and challenging attitudes, inaction, and decision making, where it has the potential to impact wildlife and nature conservation in Wales.
To do all this effectively we need your help. We are so close, and have raised over £180,000 already.

Rydym angen eich help i greu Uned Ymchwiliadau Natur i Gymru - i helpu i atal yr ymosodiad parhaus ar fyd natur ac i ddal y rhai sy'n gwneud penderfyniadau amgylcheddol yn atebol.
Bydd yr Uned Ymchwiliadau Natur yn cynnwys Newyddiadurwyr, Ymgyrchwyr ac Ymchwilwyr profiadol a fydd yn helpu i ddatgelu, datgelu a herio’r materion sy’n effeithio ar adferiad byd natur yng Nghymru, ynghyd â chynnig atebion priodol.
Pam mae angen hyn arnom? Mae’n anodd cyfaddef, ond mae’r sector cadwraeth natur yng Nghymru yn colli ei frwydr i achub bywyd gwyllt a chynefinoedd. Yn ganolog i’r dirywiad hollbwysig hwn mae methiant parhaus y Llywodraeth a’i chorff statudol Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru i gyflawni eu swyddogaethau. Mae toriadau mewn cyllid, toriadau i staff cadwraeth a thranc ein safleoedd bywyd gwyllt mwyaf gwerthfawr ni ledled Cymru i gyd yn symptomau o Lywodraeth nad yw’n gwerthfawrogi byd natur.
Rhaid i hyn newid. Mae angen i ni ddechrau gwneud pethau'n wahanol.
Dros y tair blynedd nesaf rydyn ni eisiau arloesi gyda newid sylfaenol yn y sector cadwraeth natur a fydd yn gweld mwy o bwyslais yn cael ei roi ar ddal y bobl sy'n gwneud penderfyniadau amgylcheddol yn atebol. Rydyn ni eisiau cyflawni hyn drwy dynnu sylw at a herio agweddau, diffyg gweithredu a phenderfyniadau, lle mae ganddo’r potensial i effeithio ar fywyd gwyllt a chadwraeth natur yng Nghymru.
Er mwyn gwneud hyn i gyd yn effeithiol mae angen eich help arnom. Rydym mor agos, ac wedi codi dros £180,000 yn barod. Os gwelwch yn dda cyfrannwch a helpwch ni i Atal y Rhyfel ar Natur.
