Work to remove or make old coal tips safe could be "devastating" for important wildlife, experts say.

Work to remove old coal tips or make them safe could be “devastating” for some of Wales’ rarest species of wildlife, it has been claimed.

The safety of coal tips is under review after a major landslide in 2020.

But ecology experts have said they feel left out of discussions, even though these sites were home to rare and previously unknown species.

    Failing that, at least take what the experts have to say into account.
