A major review of the state of the Welsh environment has warned of “polluted rivers, failing soils” and “collapsing wildlife”.

Parts of the country also have some of the worst air quality in Britain - causing up to 1,400 premature deaths a year - according to Natural Resources Wales (NRW).

The organisation, which is often challenged by campaigners over whether it is tough enough on tackling pollution, said it was impossible to “regulate our way out of this”, calling for action across society to allow people to live more sustainably.
