A meeting of the Initiative for Scottish Invertebrates which took place at SNH Battleby on the 25^th October 2007 attracted an audience of nearly 90 attendees interested in invertebrate conservation .  The meeting  was part of the Conserving Scottish Invertebrates project which is in the process of developing a  conservation strategy for invertebrates. 

Presentations and discussions took place on four main issues : Defining invertebrate biodiversity loss; Halting Invertebrate biodiversity loss, Understanding and documenting invertebrate diversity and

Promoting education and awareness of invertebrates.   Four working groups have now been set up to develop further thinking on these areas with the aim of having the final “Strategy for Scottish Invertebrates” document published during the summer of 2008
