Saving habitats

ARC saves habitats by:

  • Owning and managing nature reserves.
  • Influencing policy, for example on site safeguard, habitat management and agri-environment schemes
  • Working with other organisations who own and manage land, such as The Wildlife Trusts
  • Working with government agencies to ensure that the protected site series includes important areas for amphibians and reptiles, and that monitoring and management is effective.
