Species Recovery Trust, which is behind the Lost Life Project, hopes that by publicising this issue they can help prevent a further loss of biodiversity

England’s lost species include bees, beetles, dragonflies, fish, fleas, fungi, moths, spiders and wasps

That's a very depressing article and so sad to see how many species have been lost.

Strangely we saw a Red Backed Shrike whilst at Sarara camp. I now realise how lucky we were Shocked

Thanks for that Doogs.

I didn't realise that so many species had been lost, I knew it was bad, but I didn't think it was this bad, and the sad thing is it's happening all over the world as well
