People's trust for endangered species
The People’s Trust for Endangered Species seeks to ensure a future for many endangered species in the UK and throughout the world. The trust focuses on specific problems and works to preserve endangered species in their natural habitats, basing its practical conservation efforts on sound scientific evidence. Since 1998 the Trust has been coordinating a public survey of the stag beetle in the UK.
The longest recorded insect is Chan's megastick, a stick insect species from Borneo which can be up to 56.6cm long.
