Buglife is Europe’s only charity dedicated to the conservation of all invertebrates. For over 20 years, we have worked tirelessly to save the small things that run the planet. Our work spans many areas of focus including restoring nature, species recovery, education and awareness raising, campaigning and saving important invertebrate sites from development.
For a small charity, we make a big impact and work across the UK, Europe and internationally. Some of our biggest achievements to date include:
- Establishing our award-winning B-Lines initiative which aims to create and restore at least 150,000 hectares of connected wildflower-rich habitats across the UK, with over 500 hectares delivered by our projects alone so far.
- Successfully campaigning to have neonicotinoid pesticides banned across Europe.
- Fine-scale mapping 70 Important Invertebrate Areas across the UK, allowing us to better understand where our most threatened species and assemblages live.
- Establishing 22 river monitoring groups across Scotland and delivering training to 500 volunteers as part of our Guardians of our Rivers project.
