The Welsh assembly has been accused of not preventing the damage to wildlife situated in Wales, caused by the Governments actions taken in promoting air travel in the surrounding area.

The complaints have come about as the Assembly authorise and contribute to the subsidised airline flights to Cardiff and Anglesey. This has come about in attempts to increase visitors and support tourism to these areas, but conservationists state that it is to the detriment of the local wildlife, who will feel the effects of the additional noise and air pollution.

As sites like airports and tourist attractions grow, they can also impact negatively on the habitats of wildlife, by upsetting the biodiversity levels which could put some species under pressure and into decline.

Conservationists say that as well as the pollution issues and the fact that the Welsh wildlife habitats are suffering from climate change, the Governments subsidies on flights are just wasting the public money as well as contributing to the demise of local wildlife.
