Many thanks for posting this, Roger. I knew nothing about the threat even though this reserve is just across the bay from me.

Have duly added my name to the petition and have requested email updates.

....and is one of the top ten orchid sites in the country.

..and it is the only site in Wales where the fen orchid can be found, so that alone should be grounds to protect it:

By far the larger part of the British population is to be found in the dune slacks of South Wales at Kenfig National Nature Reserve where up to 90% of the total UK number can be found. Originally found in a number of coastal sand dune sites along the South Wales coast, the Fen Orchid is now extinct in all of them except Kenfig.
