Seeking the wild lights of London
The glow-worm (a light-emitting beetle) is one of Britain’s most remarkable and yet mysterious insects which has enchanted people for generations. However, surveys and anecdotal evidence suggest that numbers of glow-worm are in sharp decline in London (and other parts of Britain). In some areas, numbers appear to be so low that they could become extinct in the capital. Therefore, we are appealing for people to keep an eye out for glow-worms to help us get a better understanding of their whereabouts in London.

The Rewild London Fund
London Wildlife Trust, in partnership with the Mayor of London, is supporting projects which will enhance and restore London’s Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINCs). These sites make up London’s wildlife network and a core focus when taking action to rewild and recover nature in the city.
Successful applicants of the Rewild London Fund have been granted funding to improve, restore or create wildlife-rich habitats that will address the effects of climate and ecological emergency. The £850,000 fund, delivered by the London Wildlife Trust with commitment from Amazon’s Right Now Climate Fund, will support 22 projects with around 116 hectares of priority habitat to be restored or created.
