We feel strongly about certain environmental issues that affect our world and what we can do as a business to make a positive impact on helping to improve it.
The trust was set up because of concerns about the 'plight of the bumblebee'. In the last 70 years two species have become nationally extinct and several others declined dramatically. BBCT aim to prevent further declines, and to raise awareness of the problems bumblebees face.
Bumblebees are fascinating and beautiful creatures that deserve conserving in their own right. However, there are also good ecological and economic reasons for LC Inventory Services to help to look after them.
Bumblebees are major pollinators of our wildflowers. If bumblebees disappear then these plants will produce fewer seeds. This would result in sweeping changes to the countryside. Our countryside would lose its colour. Many rare plants might disappear. In fact, there is evidence that this process is already underway.
These changes would have catastrophic knock-on effects for other wildlife. Butterflies, birds and mammals would all suffer if bees disappeared. Bumblebees are "keystone species" and they should be a conservation priority.
The donations will be directly supporting conservation initiatives which are of benefit to both wildlife and people. As a registered charity, BBCT rely on the generosity of both individuals and organisations, and without support there would be little that BBCT could do to help our dwindling bumblebee populations.
