Diversity and inclusion
A love of and interest in the natural world ought to unite people regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, sexual orientation or any other aspect of personal identity or interests. People should be able to feel safe while out in nature, free to learn, experience or simply be. Sadly, this is clearly not the case.
Too often, women and members of marginalised groups are excluded, belittled, harassed or verbally or physically abused. This is unacceptable; we, as a community, have an obligation to stand in support of those who are made to feel unwelcome or unsafe, and against those who would engender such feelings.
The Welsh Ornithological Society supports diversity, equality and inclusiveness and stands in opposition to hatred, bigotry, violence and harassment. Those who would seek to diminish, marginalise or harm others are not welcome in our community.
Datganiad Amrywiaeth a Chynhwysiant
Dylai cariad at, a diddordeb ym myd natur, uno pobl waeth beth fo’u rhyw, hil, ethnigrwydd, crefydd, cenedligrwydd, cyfeiriadedd rhywiol neu unrhyw agwedd arall ar ei hunaniaeth neu ddiddordebau personol. Dylai pobl allu teimlo’n ddiogel wrth dreulio amser allan ym myd natur, yn rhydd i ddysgu, i fwynhau’r profiad neu, yn syml iawn, i fod yn nhw eu hunain. Yn anffodus, mae’n amlwg nad yw hyn yn wir.
Yn rhy aml, mae menywod ac aelodau grwpiau sy’n cael eu gwthio i’r cyrion yn cael eu cau allan, eu bychanu, eu haflonyddu neu eu cam-drin ar lafar neu’n gorfforol. Mae hyn yn annerbyniol; mae’n rhaid i ni, fel cymuned, fod yn gefn i’r rhai sy’n cael eu gwneud i deimlo’n ddigroeso neu’n anniogel, ac i wrthwynebu’r rhai a fyddai’n ennyn teimladau o’r fath.
Mae Cymdeithas Adareg Cymru yn cefnogi amrywiaeth, cydraddoldeb a chynhwysiant ac yn gwrthwynebu casineb, rhagfarn, trais ac aflonyddu. Nid oes croeso yn ein cymuned i’r rhai a fyddai’n ceisio bychanu, cau allan neu’n niweidio eraill.
Elegant Tern has not been seen in Wales for 19 years! It’s now the thirteenth species of tern to be recorded on the reserve at Cemlyn.
It’s the main month of seabird censusing on Bardsey: June’s continued changeable weather meant that this was interrupted on several days, but good coverage was achieved by the end of the month. Manx Shearwaters appear to be doing well, but other species are having variable seasons
