No Snow, Just Mt. 'Don'.

From the BBC, research conducted by the Countryside Council for Wales and UW Bangor scientists - Mount Snowdon could be snow-free in just fifteen years.

Climate change isn't something that happens 'to other people'. We can see its effects around us right now, and these are only going to be amplified in coming years to come. It's not just the plants and animals which live in Snowdonia National Park which will be affected - the local economy (heavy emphasis on tourism) will also be affected.

For a simple introduction to climate change impacts in Wales - visit a website by another UWA student who did this as part of a project for his biology course, and draws upon a BBC documentary last spring called 'Wilder Wales' (I have a copy if you want to borrow it, just ask me)
