BBC News By Steffan Messenger media captionThe Gwent Levels: "A prime target for renewable energy" An area dubbed "Wales' Amazon rainforest" is in danger of being overwhelmed by energy developments, campaigners have warned. Friends of the Gwent Levels said the wetlands should be off limits due to their importance for rare wildlife. It comes as ministers consider whether to allow a "renewable energy hub" to be built on protected land. The Welsh government said it was unable to comment on live applications. The developers said the scheme - which could supply clean power to 40,000 homes - would help to restore nature.
