Insects are everywhere, often overlooked, but playing vital roles in almost every ecosystem. Meet some of the miniature miracle-workers that help keep our world running.
Whether you found an injured bird in your garden, your cat brought one home as a gift, or it flew into your window, it is important to think before rushing in to help. Make sure you ask yourself "should I rescue this injured bird?", and if the answer is yes, make sure that you are equipped with the right knowledge and are adequately prepared to do so.
The UK's insect populations are in trouble: 41% face extinction. To save them, we all need to act quickly. The Wildlife Trusts are calling for everyone to be insect champions and for a pesticide reduction target to help them recover.
Insects need our help! Your free Action for Insects school guide is full of learning plans and resources designed to engage children with insects, investigate local environments, and take action for insects in your school grounds and beyond.
Our insects are in steep decline, but we can all do something to help. This guide provides advice of things to do in your local community, working with others living near and around you.
