About Buglife

Buglife is proud to be the only organisation in Europe devoted to the conservation of all invertebrates. They are actively working to save our rarest little animals, everything from bees to beetles, worms to woodlice and jumping spiders to jellyfish.

Buglife strives for a wildlife-rich planet where species, including invertebrates, thrive alongside people. The charity aims to stop invertebrate species' extinction and achieve sustainable populations of invertebrates. They will accomplish this by protecting, improving and expanding the bug's habitats and strengthening the respect given to bug species.

Learn More About Buglife

Did you know that there are more than 40,000 invertebrate species in the UK? Many of these are under threat as never before. Invertebrates are vitally important to a healthy planet – humans and other life forms could not survive without them. The food we eat, the fish we catch, the birds we see, the flowers we smell and the hum of life we hear, simply would not exist without bugs. Invertebrates underpin life on earth and without them the world’s ecosystems would collapse. Invertebrates in the UK are facing an extinction crisis, and that’s why Buglife works tirelessly to halt the extinction of invertebrate species and to achieve sustainable populations of invertebrates. The charity works hard to achieve this through many strategies, such as promoting the environmental importance of invertebrates, raising awareness about the challenges to their survival and assisting in the development of legislation and policy that will ensure the conservation of invertebrates.

Ways to get involved with Buglife

Children & Schools

Buglife offers so many ways for childrens and schools to get involved in the importance of conversation. Primarily, the charity encourages schools to get involved and has developed an Education & Resources Pack for Primary Schools as well as a set of pollinator teaching resources. To exemplify this, they have recently curated a new B-Lines Resource Pack for Primary School children, aged 5-7 years old/KS1, KS2 and families. Each of the downloadable resources and lesson plans are based around, and have activities supporting the National Curriculum.
