Buglife Northern Ireland’s priorities include identifying invertebrate-rich brownfield sites and advising others to better manage coastal and wetland habitats for invertebrates. We are also leading surveys and conservation work for some of our most threatened species – such as the Northern Colletes and Narrow-mouthed Whorl Snail on the North Coast with the National Trust, and the Zircon Reed Beetle (Donacia aquatica) in Upper Lough Erne.
