We can have green energy without destroying our precious peat wildlife habitats. Locally generated renewable energy, rooftop solar on housing and industrial estates and smaller turbines along motorways would work. Although there are no hefty profits in that approach.

Visited the Senedd today to talk to ministers and their teams about the impact 21 huge turbines will have on our natural peat uplands and their wildlife. Our peregrines, white tailed eagles, hen harriers and many many others will be gone for good. Spot the red car at the base of the model for scale

Mynydd Maen Action Group is visiting the Senedd tomorrow to talk to ministers about the impact on nature that peat removal will have on our mountain. We are automatically accused of being anti-renewables if we object. But we don't need to destroy nature to produce green energy. www.mynydd-maen.co.uk

The UK is among the world's most nature-depleted nations. Nearly 1 in 6 of 10,000+ assessed species are at risk of extinction. Lowland areas, once rich in biodiversity, have seen a dramatic decline in wildlife due to urban development and pollution. Protect our upland refuges www.mynydd-maen.co.uk

It's madness to pitch the climate emergency against the nature emergency, ripping up acres of peat moorland habitat for huge energy plants. Nature preservation and renewable energy generation should be mutually supportive. These are some of the threatened species of Mynydd Maen www.mynydd-maen.co.uk

Please, if anybody here loves the wildlife on Mynydd Maen, would you consider supporting us by sending an urgent email to save our precious upland habitat from industrialisation? We have automated emailing on our website. Thank you. www.mynydd-maen.co.uk

@iolowilliams.bsky.social please would you support us? The peat uplands on Mynydd Maen are breeding and migration grounds for Schedule 1 peregrines and white tailed eagles. A huge energy plant is planned for the moor. We need green energy without destroying precious habitat www.mynydd-maen.co.uk

There shouldn't be a clash between the nature emergency and the climate emergency. My local peat uplands are home to peregrines, white tailed eagles and many more protected species. Please help to convince Welsh Government to find sustainable ways of generating green energy. www.mynydd-maen.co.uk
