• Mobilising, inspiring, enabling and persuading others to take action, through the development and dissemination of knowledge and values.

• Promoting the value of invertebrates and raising awareness about the challenges to their survival.
• Shaping the development of relevant legislation and policy.

Communication Activities: 1. Improved management of key habitats, including preventing loss and restoring and creating habitat, to enable the recovery of bug populations and to stop further local and national extinctions.
2. Fewer key invertebrate species in decline; no preventable extinction of native species, or of globally significant populations of introduced species, in any of the UK countries
3. Increased acknowledgement amongst decision makers and the public (particularly children):-
• of the wonder, beauty and importance of bugs and their requirements
• of the big issues affecting bugs and the action required to achieve positive change
• that individuals and society should take responsibility for resolving threats to bugs
4. Improved quantity, quality and availability of science, data and evidence directly relevant to bug conservation, including long term monitoring.
