 Sacha Dench – the Human Swan – will be visiting people in the Fairbourne area and visiting people in St David’s and  Câr-Y-Môr as part of a world record breaking challenge aimed at raising awareness about the effects of climate change. She’ll be flying an electric paramotor – a bit like an electric fan with a large sheet above her – all the way around Britain as part of the Round Britain Climate Challenge.

 The Round Britain Climate Challenge is a 3000-mile circumnavigation of mainland Britain by Sacha Dench with an electric paramotor. On her journey Sacha will be calling on locals to sign up to Count Us In. This is campaign is to:

·       inspire people to take personal climate action in a month as part of the global campaign Count Us In https://www.count-us-in.org/

·       achieve a Guinness World Record Title

About the Round Britain Climate Challenge:

·       The expedition is designed to inspire and excite the nation to get involved in tackling the climate crisis

·       Sacha will be landing frequently, talking with, filming, and gathering information from, industry, innovators and entrepreneurs, local heroes, communities, schools, farmers and individuals – anybody interested in or involved in addressing the effects of climate change in their areas.

A compilation of these stories will be presented at COP26 the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow in November.

The team would be interested in hearing about any other local stories relating to climate change climate and from people and businesses with projects and solutions

Whilst Sacha is flying she likes to listen to music – so any suggestions of local bands for her flying playlist would be gratefully received. Send to stories@conservation-without-borders.org

Sacha said:

“I am delighted to be visiting this totally stunning part of Wales and meeting people to focus on answers to the climate crisis – not problems – and encourage everyone, to get involved. We’re trying to answer the question Britain drove the Industrial Revolution, can we drive the Green Revolution too?

As part of this expedition, we are investigating how climate change is affecting different regions of the country and showing – in a visually stunning and exciting way – what is happing to help cut carbon and preserve and restore our environment. So me and the team are looking forward to capturing lots of pictures and footage in the area.”
