Cwrdd â'r Tîm
Daeth tîm Tir Natur at ei gilydd gyda'r pwrpas i adfer byd natur, ac i ddysgu mwy am raddfa’r broblem sy’n ein hwynebu.
Os oes gennych ddiddordeb mewn ymuno â thîm Tir Natur, neu gyfrannu mewn rhyw ffordd, yna cysylltwch drwy e-bostio team@tirnatur.cymru. Mae gennym ddiddordeb arbennig os oes gennych sgiliau ffermio, cadwraeth natur, codi arian a rhedeg 'social media'.
Llysgennad
Iolo Williams
Mae’r naturiaethwr a’r cyflwynydd teledu, Iolo Williams, wedi ymuno â thîm Tir Natur fel ein llysgennad:
“Cymru yw un o’r gwledydd sydd wedi disbyddu fwyaf o ran byd natur ar y blaned ac mae’r adroddiad Sefyllfa Byd Natur yn dangos, er gwaethaf ymdrechion cadwraeth, bod niferoedd bywyd gwyllt yn dal i ostwng. Yn ystod fy oes, rwyf wedi gweld dirywiad enfawr mewn rhywogaethau fel draenogod, cornchwiglod a bras melyn. Os ydym am drawsnewid pethau, rhaid inni ddangos mwy o uchelgais.
Rhaid inni edrych ar adfer ecosystemau ar raddfa tirwedd fel y gall natur arwain y ffordd ac y gellir cynyddu ei hadferiad. Yn fyr, rhaid inni ailwylltio."

Richard Gwenith
I am a farmer, and manage a 70-acre project in Carmarthenshire where I am developing a model for a farm that will run with 60% of the land in beef and pork production as well as agroforestry and the remaining 40% will support and increase biodiversity. I wholeheartedly support rewilding in Wales and working with other farmers and landowners to increase our natural capital. My career started as a plant scientist at Kew Gardens and my love for the natural world was born. I have gone full circle as I am currently studying an environmental science degree with the Open University. My interest in rewilding started at a workshop in Glen Affric in 2018 and I am still learning.
Tim works for Wildlife Trusts Wales and is their Senior Policy and Advocacy Manager. He has been working in the environment and nature conservation sector for over 20 years, with a variety of organizations including Derbyshire Wildlife Trust, RSPB, Greenpeace UK and Greenpeace International. "We are in the middle of a nature and climate crisis. It is clear that new approaches are urgently needed to tackle these threats. Rewilding is one such approach. It is about restoring nature at scale where natural processes are allowed to thrive, and missing species are returned. It is also about reconnecting people to a world where nature is thriving, and communities are sustained for the long term".
With a background in fine art and television production, Rich brings a creative energy to Tir Natur. He is passionate about finding practical solutions to the biodiversity and climate crises and is focused on ways to rekindle people’s often broken relationship with nature. He came up with the concept for our Interactive Ecosystems, as a way to engage a new audience with rewilding, creating a dynamic, stimulating approach to education and fundraising. He lives in South Pembrokeshire on a smallholding dedicated to nature restoration, complete with traditional hay meadows, ponds and overgrown hedgerows.

Tom Roberts
James is the Wales Advocacy Coordinator for Rewilding Britain and has worked in the environmental sector for over 20 years, most recently as CEO of Radnorshire Wildlife Trust, leading them through a period of growth and the acquisition of Pentwyn Farm. He secured funding and developed stakeholder relationships, conducting campaigning and advocacy and landowner advice programmes. James is passionate about the need to scale up our efforts for nature's recovery, which can only be achieved by increasing our ambition and embracing natural processes, extensive/wilder grazing and rewilding.
Tom is realising a lifetime ambition to create a small nature reserve through natural restoration. He acquired an 11-acre sheep farm in Ceredigion and is busy creating ponds and planting native trees and wildflower meadows – with an emphasis on rare Welsh species such as the black poplar and alder buckthorn trees, and the near-extinct Deptford pink, corncockle, Dyer’s greenweed, small-flowered catchfly, autumn squill and other wildflowers. The reserve is a home for recovering hedgehogs released from a local animal hospital. Tom’s previous career was making international documentaries during which he accumulated well over a 100 broadcast credits as a director/producer. He founded the indie production company October Films.
