Saving the small things that run the planetBugs provide much of the colour, sound and movement that animate the natural world. They have incredible life stories and the power to help humanity by providing pollination, medicines, natural pest control, and waste recycling, to name a few. Yet, we still have so much to discover and understand about invertebrates.
Buglife is committed to stopping the extinction of invertebrate species and achieving sustainable populations of invertebrates. However, there are more species under threat than ever before. Urgent action is needed to prevent the loss of our most vulnerable wildlife.
Working with partners, we undertake the work required to give our most threatened species a brighter future. Already our species recovery projects have:
‘Species on the Edge’ is an ambitious programme for species recovery in Scotland that is taking action for over 37 declining and threatened species around Scotland’s coasts and islands.
‘Life on the Edge’ is an exciting Buglife partnership project that is restoring populations of some of the UK’s rarest invertebrates and plants living along the South Devon coast.
‘Natur am Byth!’ is a flagship conservation programme for Wales which is restoring key populations of endangered species and connecting Welsh communities with their natural heritage.
This pioneering project is supporting UK Overseas Territories to conserve their invertebrate biodiversity by identifying key sites for endemic and native species across Anguilla, and Ascension, Bermuda and the Falkland Islands.
