Buglife
Coal Spoil Connections - the legacy (a short film by Rodrigo Bera)

Film & Campaign Description

🎬 The Coal Spoil Connections Team are proud to present a legacy film, as phase one of the current funded project draws to a close.

💚 The Coal Spoil Connections project worked hard to share knowledge regarding the importance of biodiversity within coal spoil habitats with both residents and visitors alike. Encouraging enjoyment of these green spaces, recreationally, whilst being mindful of the vast array of life that calls a coal spoil home.

🍿 The first showing of the film was at the recent Coal Spoil Connections conference. Conference attendees were treated to an exciting premiere, and an opportunity to listen to the Coal Spoil Connections team sharing their thoughts on how the project has been beneficial to the local communities and nature that thrive there.

👏 A huge thank you to Rodrigo Miguez for filming and editing the film.

Gwaddol Cysylltiadau Sborion Glo!

🎬 Mae Tîm Cysylltiadau Sborion Glo yn falch i gyflwyno fideo gwaddol, wrth i gam gyntaf y prosiect cyfredol a arianwyd ddod i ben.

💚 Fe weithiodd prosiect Cysylltiadau Sborion Glo yn galed i rannu gwybodaeth ynghylch pwysigrwydd bioamrywiaeth mewn cynefinoedd sborion glo gyda thrigolion yn ogystal ag ymwelwyr. Gan annog mwynhau’r ardaloedd gwyrdd hyn at ddibenion hamdden, tra’n cofio ystyried yr ystod eang iawn o fywyd sy’n galw sborion glo yn gartref.

🍿 Dangoswyd y fideo am y tro cyntaf yng nghynhadledd ddiweddar Cysylltiadau Sborion Glo. Mwynhaodd y cynadleddwyr y première cyffrous, a’r cyfle i wrando ar dîm Cysylltiadau Sborion Glo yn rhannu eu meddyliau ar sut y bu’r prosiect yn fuddiol i’r cymunedau lleol a’r natur sy’n ffynnu yno.

👏 Diolch o galon i Rodrigo Miguez am ffilmio a golygu’r fideo.

Buglife

Buglife is the only organisation in Europe devoted to the conservation of all invertebrates. We’re actively working to save our rarest little animals, everything from bees to beetles, worms to woodlice and jumping spiders to jellyfish.

There are more than 40,000 invertebrate species in the UK, and many of these are under threat as never before.

Invertebrates are vitally important to a healthy planet – humans and other life forms could not survive without them. The food we eat, the fish we catch, the birds we see, the flowers we smell and the hum of life we hear, simply would not exist without bugs. Invertebrates underpin life on earth and without them the world’s ecosystems would collapse.

Invertebrates are facing an extinction crisis.

Today, thousands of invertebrate species are declining and many are heading towards extinction. Worldwide 150,000 species could be gone by 2050 if we do nothing.

Each invertebrate species plays a unique and important role in the web of life, but once lost, they cannot be replaced. Many invertebrates have incredible life stories yet to be told, and we literally don’t know what we are on the brink of losing.

Buglife’s aim is to halt the extinction of invertebrate species and to achieve sustainable populations of invertebrates.

Together we can save the small things that run the planet!
