United Kingdom
The United Kingdom has a rich variety of wildlife. Support for local and national Biodiversity Action Plans underpins our UK native species strategy, but in addition, we also undertake important research to understand the factors affecting loss of other wildlife species, such as change in land use or introduction of competitive non-native species.
We have been working to save native species for many years and are currently supporting four projects 
The Avon Gorge and Downs Wildlife Project, a partnership for the management, monitoring and raising awareness of a site of international conservation importance.
Water vole conservation partnership.
White clawed crayfish conservation partnership
Avon Gorge and Downs Biodiversity Action Plan partnership
Conservation of white-clawed crayfish In South West England
The white-clawed crayfish, is Britain's only native species and has suffered severe declines, most devastatingly in recent decades due to the spread of non-native crayfish species (NNCS) and associated 'crayfish plague'.
The primary aim of the project is to identify all remaining white-clawed crayfish within the South West and prioritise them in terms of threat. A series of translocations will be carried out in order to try and safeguard all remaining threatened white-clawed crayfish populations.
The secondary aim of the project is to establish and maintain viable breeding populations of white-clawed crayfish ex situ to provide plague free brood stock.
