What presentations will feature in this virtual symposium?

Aimed at rewilding specialists, conservationists and reintroduction researchers looking to learn from previous Invertebrate translocation and reintroduction projects in the UK.cross London.

  • Learn how targeted habitat creation and landscape-planning enabled the relocation of a coastal moth, and how you can apply similar pre-emptive and adaptive strategies for rare invertebrate conservation.

  • Explore the steps, challenges and successes in translocating a semi-aquatic spider, and understand how to evaluate ongoing threats (such as climate change) when designing long-term recovery programmes.

  • Understand the complex process of restoring an extinct invertebrate species into its native range – including partner coordination, trial methodologies, and how to interpret surprising outcomes when things don’t go as planned.

  • Discover how long-term captive-rearing, reintroduction and habitat-management have been employed for endangered orthopterans, and how lessons from 30 + years of work can guide future invertebrate translocations.

  • Investigate how captive breeding, habitat restoration, and monitoring are helping to re-establish sustainable populations of this critically endangered species.
