Bumblebee Conservation Trust [SEP] start time
Bumblebee Conservation Trust
The Bumblebee Conservation Trust is an organisation in the UK that makes efforts to monitor and conserve bumblebees and their habitat.
History.
The Bumblebee Conservation Trust was established by Dave Goulson in 2006 with a grant of £49,900 from the Heritage Lottery Fund. There were serious concerns for the ‘plight of the bumblebees’, as the populations of bumblebees have significantly declined in the last 80 years - two UK species have become nationally extinct and several others have declined dramatically.
The charity has three main
from England with wildlife organisations to bring political support to the protection and promotion of threatened wildlife. The project is run by a group of seven organisations: Amphibian and Reptile Conservation, Bat Conservation Trust, Buglife, Bumblebee Conservation Trust, Butterfly Conservation, Plantlife and the RSPB. Additional support is provided by the Angling Trust, the People's Trust for Endangered Species, the British Hedgehog Preservation Society and Somerset Wildlife Trust.
