Anyone who has spent time in
Wales knows that it is a beautiful, mountainous
peninsula. In fact, the country is home to
significant ancient woodlands that provide
habitat for mice, bats, and birds of prey, among other
animals.
But a proposal to build 460
new homes in Miskin, Wales could impact the local
ecology, and residents are rightfully
worried.
Locals have repeatedly expressed
concern about the noise pollution and increased traffic
that will come from this hasty
development.
Bats in particular are
very sensitive to habitat disturbances, which
can impair their health and cause chronic stress.
And since an impact on one
species can throw off an entire ecosystem, this
could in turn affect hawks, owls, and other
raptors that call the area home.
The Rhondda Cynon Taf
Council must hold off on approving this construction
project until experts have revealed the full effect it
will have on wildlife! Sign the petition now if you
agree!
