Mission Plantlife seeks to conserve wild plants and
fungi using a range of approaches. We
work to conserve key habitats and we
have designated Important Plant Areas to
draw attention to those parts of the
country that sustain important collections
of plants. We also devise and carry out
projects aimed at recovering declining
populations of key species and
demonstrating how they can be effectively
conserved in the future.
Buglife is the only organisation in Europe devoted to
the conservation of all invertebrates, and we are
passionately committed to saving Britain's rarest little
animals, everything from bees to beetles, and spiders
to snails
Pond Conservation is the national charity dedicated to
protecting the wildlife of our freshwaters: ponds,
rivers, streams and lakes.
We give advice, carry out research, promote practical
action and lobby policy makers to ensure that
freshwater wildlife and habitats have a secure future.
