Welcome to Cymru Siren!
Introduction
Every new year brings hopes and promises, but 2008 is a particularly important year for planet Earth. Last year global concern about climate change continued to crescendo and, at a conference in Bali, governments promised to work harder to avert catastrophe. WWF aims to ensure that this concern is translated into radical action by the end of 2008, to help avoid a very bleak future.
Thanks to WWF's pioneering work on ecological footprinting in 2002, the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) was the first to accept that the global crisis has local causes, and that each of us in Wales can make a difference. Now everyone is talking about footprints! WAG will review its sustainable development priorities in 2008, and will be guided by its new Climate Change Commission. With our One Planet Wales campaign, WWF Cymru will influence these formal processes and help individuals to reduce their own footprints.
In 2007, WWF's global network agreed two main goals: to reduce humanity's footprint, and conserve our finest natural habitats. In Wales, WWF will make sure that our wild places (particularly in the marine environment) are not compromised by economic growth and misguided development. We will continue to press for a comprehensive Marine Act to be implemented in Wales.
