The Cambrian Mountains Initiative, an organisation that supports upland communities in an area stretching from north of Pumlumon through the Elenydd, to Llanllwni and Brechfa in the south has released a study into how landscape status for the area could be achieved. The study found that the Cambrian Mountains are one of the heartlands of Welsh language and culture, are highly valued for their landscape and nature, and that the communities and their ways of life are firmly rooted in land use and management. The study suggests that the communities themselves, working with Welsh Government and others, could design and then sign up to a charter that would be used to create a new type of designation or status.
