During this webinar we will look at the subject of protection for the UK’s invertebrate fauna and our responsibilities towards ensuring their conservation. We will discuss national and regional approaches to invertebrate status and where we are with IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) reviews of specific invertebrate groups.

By the end of the webinar learners will have a better understanding of the protection of invertebrates within the UK and what this means for their management and reporting. We will cover the following points during this session:
- Protected invertebrates in the United Kingdom.
- Section 41 Invertebrates.
- IUCN Red listing of invertebrates and how that might apply to my site.
- I have rare species of invertebrates on my site – what does it mean for me?
