The RSPB, WWT, Pensthorpe Conservation Trust and Jordans (the cereal people)have got together to re-introduce the Crane to a new breeding site in Britain. There is a very small population in the Norfolk broads that gets supplemented in winter. Curiously though I am not convinced this is the best use of money.
A new(?) organisation the Bumbleebee Conservation Trust is trying to raise £100,000 to buy a reserve in the Outer Hebrides. Two bees that were once common in Britain the Great Yellow Bumblebee and Moss Carder bumblebee are present and the reserve would enable the preservation and protection of the habitat they need.
I presume that money will be more easily available for the Crane than it is for the bumblebee. As Boo would say such is life.

Presumably other wildlife will benefit from the preservation of the bumblebee habitat.
whoops reorganised the post.
i was questioning the cranes not the bees!!!
cranes need good habitat too so presumably other wildlife will benefit from this project as well?
