It is with great pride that I can announce that I am the new Vice President of Buglife, joining Steve Backshall, Nick Baker, Germaine Greer, Alan Stubbs, and Edward O Wilson to campaign for our invertebrate friends.
Buglife is the only organisation in Europe devoted to the conservation of all invertebrates. We’re actively working to save Britain’s rarest little animals, everything from bees to beetles, worms to woodlice and jumping spiders to jellyfish.
Right now, our new campaign is called NO INSECTINCTION
‘No Insectinction’ is a call for action, a coming together of people and organisations with a shared endeavour to heal our planet’s life support system.
We must achieve three things:
1) Room for insects to thrive – we need to make space for wildlife and reconnect the wild parts of our landscapes
2) Safe spaces for insects – we must free our land and freshwaters from pollutants and invasive species
3) Friendlier relationship with insects – We need to act now to stop insectinction. However, the scale and quality of that action is still limited by our lack of understanding and awareness.
