Paddleboarding and walking could be the reason why bird numbers are falling, the report says.

In the Spring of 2020, many popular sites across north and west Wales were closed to the public due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Many areas were completely shut off, while others just experienced fewer visitors due to the virus regulations and travel limitations.Erosion was also a "key feature" of the report following two extremely busy visitor seasons in a row, leading to a concentration of walkers eroding footpaths such as Cwm Llan on Snowdon's Watkin Path, and coastal vegetation being trampled in Ynys Llanddwyn.

"I hope that the results from these surveys will help to reinforce the work of those managing the national park in balancing the needs of local people and visitors, whilst ensuring that we can see the natural heritage of this spectacular area of Wales flourish into the future. "The Snowdonia National Park Authority, The National Trust and Natural Resources Wales are working together on numerous projects and strategies to reduce the effect of visitor numbers on the landscapes and biodiversity."

Work includes a long-term sustainable approach to tourism and transport in the region which will be an environmentally friendly way to visit north west Wales, and in turn lessen the impact on wildlife and habitats.
