Despite their gruesome reputation leeches are fascinating animals. This talk will explore their natural history and cultural significance, including why leech conservation is important and what it involves. Craig will also give an overview of British leech diversity and provide information on some of the different species of leech and how to identify them.
As Conservation Director, Craig Macadam heads up the Conservation team at Buglife - The Invertebrate Conservation Trust. He leads Buglife’s freshwater work and is particularly interested in developing conservation action for less well-known species such as leeches.
