Pori Natur a Threftadaeth PONT

Pori Natur a Threftadaeth (PONT) is a consortium of organisations that work with farmers, landowners and graziers in the Welsh countryside, to deliver wildlife benefits from grazing as part of integrated, viable and sustainable management systems through the following objectives:

• To encourage and facilitate grazing for the benefit of wildlife, landscape and the cultural heritage of Wales.

• To maintain a strong relationship with and support GAP UK, and be incorporated into a UK-wide structure under the GAP UK umbrella.

• To act as a broker for information relevant to Wales, by gathering details of local grazing schemes, sharing best practice and making information available to those who require or request it.

• To inform, influence and guide opinion and policy within Wales and the United Kingdom.

• In co-operation with other organisations with compatible objectives, to seek to enhance conservation in Wales and minimise duplication of effort.

This is achieved by working within Wales; by working with grazing animals; supporting native and indigenous breeds, by working with people, communities and organisations; by pursuing ecological and economic sustainability in our work; by facilitating positive change and allowing people to adapt to change; by being interested in the future but being guided by the past, where relevant, to the state where agriculture, communities and land management are reinvigorated and the landscape of Wales is managed by truly ecologically and financially sustainable management.
