BIODIVERSITY IN SWANSEA Swansea has a natural environment of outstanding quality and beauty with a great diversity of landscapes and habitats including upland moorland, coastal cliffs, sandy beaches, heathland, woodland, wetlands, river valleys, grasslands, sand dunes and estuaries.

These habitats, together with the many parks and gardens, pockets of urban green space and large areas of farmland, support a huge diversity of plant and animal species and make Swansea one of the most attractive and ecologically diverse counties in the UK. To find out more about biodiversity in Swansea and what you can do to help maintain and enhance it, visit www.biodiversitywales.org.uk.

LOCAL GREEN SPACES MAPPED OUT Our network of green spaces is very important as it not only provides habitats for plants and animals but is vital for our own health and well-being too.

Green spaces in both rural and urban areas can provide a focal point for communities, support a variety of leisure activities and interests, and offer lots of other benefits such as reducing pollution and flood risk.

Sustainable Swansea has published a Swansea Green Spaces Map which highlights the location of a wide range of green spaces across our area.

These include a selection of nature reserves and wildlife sites, parks, Sites of Special Scientific Interest and commons.

The beautifully illustrated leaflet is just one in a series of Green Maps produced by Sustainable Swansea as part of a world-wide initiative to help connect people with natural, social and cultural assets within their communities. Copies of the map can be picked up at various facilities such as the Environment Centre and Civic Centre or can be downloaded from the website: www.sustainableswansea.net, where the full range of local Green Maps can be found.

MANNAU GWYRDD LLEOL WEDI'U MAPIO Mae ein rhwydwaith o fannau gwyrdd yn bwysig iawn gan ei fod yn darparu cynefinoedd i blanhigion ac anifeiliaid ac, ar ben hynny, mae'n hanfodol i'n hiechyd a'n lles ni hefyd.

Gall mannau gwyrdd mewn ardaloedd gwledig a threfol ddarparu pwynt canolog i gymunedau, cefnogi amrywiaeth o weithgareddau a diddordebau hamdden, a chynnig llawer o fuddion eraill megis lleihau llygredd a pherygl llifogydd.

Mae Abertawe Gynaliadwy wedi cyhoeddi Map o Fannau Gwyrdd yn Abertawe sy'n amlygu lleoliad amrywiaeth eang o fannau gwyrdd ar draws ein hardal. Mae'r rhain yn cynnwys detholiad o warchodfeydd natur a safleoedd bywyd gwyllt, parciau, Safleoedd o Ddiddordeb Gwyddonol Arbennig a thiroedd comin.

Un yn unig yw'r daflen ddeniadol hon o gyfres o Fapiau Gwyrdd sydd wedi'u creu gan Abertawe Gynaliadwy fel rhan o fenter fyd-eang i helpu i gysylltu pobl ag asedau naturiol, cymdeithasol a diwylliannol yn eu cymunedau. Gellir codi copi o'r map o gyfleusterau amrywiol megis Canolfan yr Amgylchedd a'r Ganolfan Ddinesig, neu gellir ei lawrlwytho o'r wefan (www.sustainableswansea.net) lle gellir dod o hyd i'r holl Fapiau Gwyrdd lleol.
