About the event

In a quest to halt the decline of the endangered white-clawed crayfish – the UK’s only native freshwater crayfish - the Bristol Zoological Society teamed up with other conservation experts over a decade ago and formed the South West Crayfish Partnership. This partnership is a ‘tour de force’ in helping to conserve this elusive crustacean, an ecosystem engineer of our freshwater habitats and an important part of our English heritage.

Dr Jen Nightingale will explain how a group of experts came together to work out how to save a species and will discuss the different ways they have worked in partnership to ensure that this keynote species remains part of our aquatic ecosystems for future generations to enjoy.
