The Trust seeks your support by signing a petition to restrict the use of powerful rat poisons which have a catastrophic effect on Barn Owls that eat the poisoned carcases. Whilst the government is reviewing how to control the use of such poisons, you can influence the Minister by signing the petition (use the link below). GOS endorses this appeal.

Conservation of Welsh seabirds |
A consultation on plans to protect seabirds in some of Wales’ most important marine and coastal conservation areas is being conducted by Natural Resources Wales for the Welsh Government.
The proposed changes would extend three Special Protection Areas at Aberdaron Coast and Bardsey Island, Skokholm and Skomer, and Grassholm. Currently, only the nesting sites for species such as Manx Shearwater, Puffin and Gannet are protected. The new proposals would see the protected areas extend into the seas around the nesting areas to where seabirds congregate and feed during the breeding season. This would represent a major step forward in the conservation of these important species.
If you would like to support the proposals, click on the following link: http://naturalresourceswales.gov.uk/our-work/consultations/our-own-consultations/proposed-changes-to-three-existing-spas/?lang=en#.Uv5ZFmJ_tIE
Then click on the green arrow on the right 'SPA consultation response form'. Save or print the form, complete it and send or e-mail it back to NRW. |
