An ambitious project to protect rare and endangered white-clawed crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) across Derbyshire has completed another successful translocation of the species. 

Working with partners at Buglife, AECOM, Staffordshire Wildlife Trust and Birmingham Sea Life Centre, Derbyshire Wildlife Trust coordinated the relocation of native white-clawed crayfish which are under threat from non-native signal crayfish living in the same area. 

Over the course of the entire project, hundreds of the native species have been moved to ‘ark’ sites at secret locations in Derbyshire and Staffordshire, where it is anticipated the crayfish will thrive.
