Species

Invertebrates

Some invertebrate species are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended), as well as the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010. In addition, many species of invertebrate are Priority Species in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan. As such, planning authorities need to consider these species as part of planning applications and to ensure they are protected in accordance with legislation or Biodiversity Action Plan Targets.

Ecosulis employs invertebrate experts and licence holders (e.g. for white-clawed crayfish, southern damselfly) and offers services including:
