Ceredigion is rich in habitats and wildlife; its biodiversity is an important component of the County's distinctiveness.
Conserving biodiversity is not just about rare or threatened species, it is about all living things. Protecting the variety of life around is increasingly important, not just for the intrinsic worth of plants and animals themselves, but for human needs.
'The damp, heathy pastures - 'rhos' pastures - are dominated by purple moor-grass and rush species and are also the habitat of the rare Marsh Fritillary butterfly. Estuaries and wetlands of international importance that support wildfowl and waders and oak woodland all contribute to the biodiversity of the County.
