Saving the small things that run the planet
Bugs Matter: Count the Splats!
We need your help measuring insect splats on vehicle number plates. This important citizen science survey helps us to build a picture of insect abundance across the UK, Republic of Ireland and France.
Veterinary Medicines
The pesticides used in tick and flea treatments are bad for freshwater bugs, disrupting food webs and ecosystem functions, with potential knock-on effects for fish and birds. To protect freshwater life, Buglife is urging the Government to act fast.
Spring is Sprung
The first in a series of blogs celebrating the seasonality of our gardens. Explore some of the seasonal jobs you could now make a start on, to encourage invertebrates and other wildlife into your green spaces, and some of the important things to consider when planning your gardening activities.
The Bristol Declaration
We, supported by organisations, institutions, and community representatives, have issued a united Declaration on UK Insect Declines, calling for urgent, coordinated action to address the steep and ongoing losses in the UK’s insect populations.
