Two decades ago, the red kite – the national bird of Wales – was one of only three globally threatened species in the UK, but its successful reintroduction throughout the country has seen numbers recover dramatically. There are now more than 400 pairs in Wales alone, and more than 10,000 across the UK. Numbers of red kite have increased so dramatically thanks to sites like Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest Visitor Centre in West Wales; and with walking, cycling and horse-riding trails plus an on-site café, it’s a great day out for all the family (naturalresources.wales). The centre is one of 14 sites that are part of the new National Forest of Wales, which is aiming to link existing forests with new woodland, creating green corridors for wildlife as well as a carbon sink. Other sites include Coed-y-Brenin, Dyfi Forest and Wye Valley woodlands. These activity centres represent a new kind of regenerative travel experience, where your low impact visit funds biodiversity conservation and tree planting, helping to regulate ecosystems, protect biodiversity and play an integral part in the carbon cycle. wales.com
