The recommendation has been put to the Welsh government in a report
responding to its anti-racism action plan.

Wales is 94% white




There are calls for "dog-free areas" to be introduced in Wales as part of the Welsh government's anti-racism action plan.

The plan, which has now been extended to include environmental factors
such as climate change and rural affairs, was first launched in June 2022.

The Welsh government sought the views of stakeholders including Climate
Cymru BAME, which compiled the report.

The study by the climate action group was carried out with Welsh
government funding.

It includes contributions from minority ethnic people who live in the North
Wales region, students and professionals in the environmental sector.

Contributors to the study noted barriers including a lack of green spaces in
their local area.

One of the report's recommendations to the government is to create
allotments and "dog-free areas" in local green spaces.

Andrew RT Davies, leader of the Welsh Conservatives - the largest opposition
party in the Senedd - has called it "outdated virtue-signalling nonsense".

He said it is "completely out of touch with the needs of the people of Wales".

"Labour is stuck on yesterday's thinking, the kind that is being roundly
rejected globally," he added.

A Welsh government spokesperson said it is "committed to creating an anti-
racist nation by 2030".
