Action For Threatened Moths
Moths are not just beautiful. They are part of the food chain and essential for the survival of Britain's birds, bats and mammals.
Founded in 1999, the Action for Threatened Moths Project puts into action the Government's plans to secure a future for endangered or threatened moths.
- Survey and monitoring of threatened moths
- Investigate habitat requirements, to direct conservation where it is needed
- Talking to land managers about the need to conserve moths and their habitats
- Increasing the involvement of volunteers to conserve moths
- Raising awareness of moths and moth conservation issues
The project, which is part-funded by Natural England, works closely with Moths Count project.
