Buglife's Beetle Conservation Projects in the UK

Suzanne Burgess (Buglife)

Since Buglife started, they have delivered conservation projects across the UK, several of which have been focused on beetles, including rare and threatened species. These projects have involved site-specific surveys, habitat restoration works, training via the delivery of workshops and community engagement events. This presentation will discuss their beetle related conservation work, with some of the beetles that have benefited over the last few years- including their work on pot beetles, Blue Ground Beetles, oil beetles and more.

Suzanne Burgess started with Buglife as a TCV Natural Talent trainee in 2010 surveying land on the vacant and derelict land register in Falkirk for Open Mosaic Habitat, today she is Development Manager, supporting the development of new projects across the country. During her time with Buglife, Suzanne has worked on a wide range of conservation projects, including those on beetles, in particular pot beetles.
