Nature reserves

These are set up to protect wildlife in an area. No building work is allowed in these areas, so plants and animals are left to thrive.

Ecologically planned farms, parks and gardens

Gardeners and farmers may introduce wildflowers into selected areas - this helps to maintain habitats for invertebrates such as butterflies and bees, birds and small animals such as dormice and hedgehogs. Other measures such as bird boxes, bat boxes, insect houses, log piles and compost heaps can all help to provide habitats and protect species.

Ponds

Garden and school ponds provide water for many living things, as well as a safe habitat and breeding place for animals such as frogs, toads, newts, pond snails and dragonflies. Today the pond is regarded as an endangered habitat, as so many have been lost to urbanisation.

Community Projects

Local communities sometimes help local wildlife e.g. helping toads reach their breeding ground, campaigning for tunnels under roads or railway tracks so that ducks, badgers, toads or deer can cross safely.
