Almost two thirds of species in the UK have declined in the past 50 years. There’s nothing natural or inevitable about this. It can be stopped. And everyone can play a part. That’s why People’s Trust for Endangered Species exists.

Stag Beetle Appeal

Stag beetles used to be a common sight in summer, especially in the south of the UK, but across Europe, they are declining. They’ve even become extinct in a couple of countries. We don’t want that to happen here.

Help give dormice a home

Dormice are declining across the UK. But we’re boosting their numbers by reintroducing them to areas where they used to be found.

As well as releasing dormice into the countryside, we provide them with a dormouse box so they have a safe space to start a family. We also supply them with food and water over the summer. Read more about how you can give a dormouse a home.

Mammals on roads

Over the summer please take part in Mammals on Roads, our nationwide survey of mammal sightings along single-carriage roads. Add your sightings to help us find out crucial information about the status of our wildlife.
