- 1. Politics, Protected Landscapes and the Ecosystem Approach in Wales Morgan Parry Chair, Countryside Council for Wales
- 6. Ecosystems or Landscapes? National Ecosystem Assessment
- 10. Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB extension
- 13. Report on CCW website -
- 15. Aims of Cambrian Mountains Initiative Support the development of sustainable, rural communities within the area of the Cambrian Mountains: Sustain the environment of the area Work with communities, producers and tourism providers within the surrounding area of influence; Ensure the future sustainability of Welsh family farms; Achieve the highest standards of land management and animal welfare; Provide the best Welsh welcome and a high quality of service to visitors to the area Use an ecosystems approach to managing our natural capital
Notes de l'éditeur
- Forum for the future’s 5 capital model adapted to fit eco services into natural capital section
- Are the words “ecosystem” and “landscape” interchangeable? Not in scientific terms but theay convey similar meanings. But there are two competing concepts here and we must resolve this – the Ecosystem approach is currently the framework within all others sit
- eight protected landscapes (National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty) in Wales, occupying 5,078km2, i.e. 24.4% of Wales’s terrestrial space; Seven in every eight hectares of European designated Natura 2000 sites in Wales (0.5 million ha) are marine areas. Of the 21,000km2 land and freshwater surface area of Wales, about 30% is protected in special sites for wildlife, scenic beauty or geological value.
- WE are in fact still designating AONBs! Our Council apoproved the extention to the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB in March this year and Ministerial confirmation is awaited.
- … despite a rather unhelpful campaign to turn the AONB into a National Park! This didn’t help win over reluctant farming Unions, but Council members agreed the extension with enthusiasm.

- Mynyddoedd Cambrian yn enghraifft da o sut mae’r tirlun ehangach yn cael ei ystyried a’r gwasanaethau ecosustemau’n cael eu gwerthfawrogi
- Cambrian Mountains Initiative is a good example of how the wider landscape outside of designated areas can be considered and valued through the ecosystem approach
- The same ecosystem mapping methodology applied to a local authority area – in this case Bridgend County Borogh Council. These will be used as case studies for NEF
- Map showing all types of green infrastructure, urban and rural This map shows the spread of green infrastructure across Bridgend County Borough Council – the map is based on a range of datasets such as the protected sites series, CCW’s accessible natural greenspace dataset, woodlands and wildlife trust sites. After combining these datasets the map was manually checked to ensure all areas of greenspace were picked up, including the smaller sites such as domestic gardens. This map shows that even in a reasonably densely urbanised area, there are considerable areas of green space.
- Map recreational opportunities and health statistics – the idea being to promote more access in areas it will make most difference to health This map shows the level of health deprivation in Bridgend, with the darkest colours showing the most deprived areas, the lighter ones the less deprived areas. The pink lines show the areas that are accessible within 5km of settlements – research shows that most people do not travel more than this distance for the kind of exercise that can lead to health benefits (i.e. 30 minutes moderate exercise 4-5 times a week). The map also shows the recreational opportunities in Bridgend (i.e. the hatched areas and the areas in green). Analysis such as this can start to highlight areas where investment in green infrastructure can produce, as well as an increase in biodiversity, additional benefits, e.g by providing an outdoor recreation area in an area of high health deprivation.
- Look at recreation – research shows people travel under 5km, need to look at mulitple benefits Area part of the ERDF Valleys Regional Park programme - £21.75 investment in recreation facilities Fantastic recreation resource already but under-managed - opportunity to contribute to improving physical activity and mental well-being - but underutilised - need to engage with the health promotion teams and community development workers to make it part of their strategy too - opportunities for community social enterprise whilst managing the natural environment assets.
- These three ideas don’t figure strongly in the debate in Wales
