Jen Nightingale - our UK Conservation Manager shares her stories from the field, or in this case... stories from our English rivers!
In a quest to halt the decline of the Endangered white-clawed crayfish – the UK’s only native freshwater crayfish - the Bristol Zoological Society teamed up with other conservation experts over a decade ago and formed the South West Crayfish Partnership.
This partnership is a ‘tour de force’ in helping to conserve this elusive crustacean, an ecosystem engineer of our freshwater habitats and an important part of our English heritage.
Jen explains how a group of experts came together to work out how to save a species and discusses the different ways they have worked in partnership to ensure that this keynote species remains part of our aquatic ecosystems for future generations to enjoy.
