Buglife – The Invertebrate Conservation Trust (usually referred to simply as Buglife) is a British-based nature conservation charity.

Structure

It is headquartered in Peterborough, England, off the A605 in Nene Park, Peterborough, close to Ferry Meadows railway station and The Granary Beefeater Grill. It has additional offices in Scotland and the South West of England. Its aim is to prevent invertebrate extinctions and to maintain sustainable populations of invertebrates in the United Kingdom.

Operation

Activities undertaken by Buglife fall into the following areas:

  • Undertaking and promoting study and research
  • Promoting habitat management aimed at maintaining and enhancing invertebrate biodiversity
  • Publicising invertebrates

History

In September 2011, Buglife contributed to BBC Radio 4’s Saving Species programme.[2]

In 2015, Buglife campaigned successfully to stop a building development which had threatened the critically endangered species Nothophantes horridus (also known as the Horrid ground-weaver).[3][4][5]
