Paul is the Director of Fundraising and Communications for Buglife:
Buglife is the only organisation in Europe devoted to the conservation of all invertebrates, and we are actively working to save Britain’s rarest little animals, everything from bees to beetles, worms to woodlice and jumping spiders to jellyfish. There are more than 40,000 invertebrate species in the UK, and 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.

Swanscombe Marshes natures jewel of the Thames Gateway is under threat as developers look to create a theme park on this haven for over 250 endangers species. They promise dinosaurs they will bring extinctions .
A site that in the words of Natural England is probably the best site in the whole UK has managed to bypass local planners by going under the guise of a National Infrastructure Project so planning enquiry and ministerial decision. We need your help to stop this now. The site is a SSSI designate that boards a Marine Conservation Zone if they can build here where can ever be safe.
