'Unique' Carneddau wild ponies 'under threat'
Aberystwyth University researchers say they have established that wild ponies grazing on the Carneddau Mountains in Snowdonia are "genetically unique."
They say the Carneddau ponies need to be conserved to protect their existence - especially as many died in the recent snow, "dramatically reducing their numbers."
Clare Winton, a Ph.D student who did the study, said: “Although the Carneddau ponies have shared ancestry with the Welsh Section A pony, they exhibit unique mutations while maintaining high genetic diversity, demonstrating that the population has been isolated for at least several hundred years."
Dr Nash, from the university, said: “The existence of the Carneddau ponies is threatened by financial pressure such as costs associated with the legal requirement to passport and microchip every horse in the UK."
The Carneddau ponies play a vital role within the mountain ecology of the Snowdonia National Park, as they are involved in a grazing scheme maintaining the preferred habitat for the endangered bird, the red-billed chough.

Warning about Rhododendron danger
Snowdonia National Park officers are asking farmers to be vigilant of their sheep around Rhododendron Ponticum as the snow thaws and signs of Spring emerge.
They say the green leaves of the invasive species are very appealing to sheep, especially when there's a food shortage on the ground.
But the leaves can kill the animals.
The areas where the plant's common include Mawddwy, South and North of the Mawddach, Vale of Ffestiniog, the Glaslyn and Gwynant areas and Betws y Coed.

Man found in river two years ago 'still unidentified'
An inquest has heard that a man found dead alongside a river in Snowdonia two years ago has still not been identified.
Searches through army records, dental records and DNA records have all come up with nothing.

Consultant pathologist Dr Mark Lord, who carried out a post-mortem examination, found no drugs or alcohol in the man’s system and he put the cause of death as hypothermia.
North Wales Central coroner John Gittins recorded an open verdict.

The men, from Northumberland, were taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor.
