"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead, American anthropologist, 1901-1978
Around the world, there are many groups of committed people who are making sure wildlife have what they need to survive and thrive. The more of us who join in, the greater an impact we will have! So join the bigger picture and do something!

What can one person do to help wildlife?
Those fabulous people at the Amphibian and Conservation Trust and the Freshwater Habitats Trust have a booklet you can download to help you if you want to create a wildlife pond! It doesn't need to be huge as the video on the right from the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust shows. We put a pond into our garden during lockdown, and it's been wonderful to see the difference it's made. The more of us who can do something like this, the more impact we will all have. Find out more and download the brochure here.
Did you know that there are 80 bat groups in the UK, made up of volunteers who do vital bat conservation work? And the Bat Conservation Trust has tips on gardening for bats!

Create a wildlife corridor!
The RSPB have a great video showing why it's so important to create wildlife corridors for nature. You could:
Give hedgehogs a hole to crawl through
Grow climbers for wildlife to crawl up
Grow a hedge
The book "Earthshot" says that you and I can be part of the problem facing the planet - or we can be part of the solution. Two things we can do is to protect the natural world and to reduce our impact. "Urgency + Optimism = Action."
There's a website aiming to educate people into why you shouldn't poison bats you find in your home - it's a wonderful resource. Find out more here
