.

the official pages. Everything about bats in the UK. One of the best UK specialist
wildlife sites there is.

breaking mammals.
British Arachnological
Society
Landlife: charity dedicated to creating
land for wildlife and involving people, especially in urban areas.
National Federation of Badger Groups
British Association of Nature Conservationists
: nature conservation's self-professed 'leading think tank'; hardly a crowded
market, regrettably.
Botanical Society of the British Isles
British Ecological Society:
a decent web page from this worthy society. Plenty on it to look at. We like
the free 'Ecology' poster!
Natural History Museum: lots of
outstanding descriptions of British animals, plants, fungi and so on. Very comprehensive,
and arranged in strict taxonomic order. Site growing into a major resource-
keep checking this one. See also the stunningly good Postcode
Plants Database.
The Amateur Entomological Society:
a worthy society and Oh! what a magnificent web page. We love it, especially
the Bug Key.
Flora Locale : organisation campaigning
for the wise use of indigenous plants.
The British Entomological and Natural History
Society
British Herpetological Society: concerned
with reptiles and amphibia.
British Bryological Society:
mosses and liverworts.
Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society: with
an international remit, not just UK.
The Norfolk Bat Group
Bees, Wasps and Ants Recording Society...
does exactly what it says on the... err... website. Nothing to do with the musical
prowess of these fascinating insects but concerned with biological records.
British Dragonfly Society
The Association of British Fungus Groups
