About UKCEH (UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology)
The UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) is an independent, world-class research organisation conducting long-term environmental science across water, land, and air. UKCEH’s scientists provide essential data and analysis to help address global environmental challenges, including biodiversity loss, climate change, and ecosystem resilience.
UKCEH’s expertise in ecological monitoring and insect population research makes them a natural and invaluable partner in the Society’s ongoing work to protect and understand insect life, and our goal to promote insect science for the benefit of people and the planet.
Why this partnership matters
Through this partnership, RES and UKCEH will collaborate on advancing the science of entomology, supporting early-career researchers, and promoting the crucial role insects play in maintaining healthy ecosystems worldwide.
Insects account for up to 90% of all animal species and represent more than half of all living organisms. Yet they are under‐studied, under‐funded and often under‐appreciated. The RES in collaboration with partners to deliver education programmes, host global scientific meetings, publish research in leading scientific journals and support insect conservation and control efforts.
By joining the Gold tier, you will contribute directly to:
- expanding training and professional development opportunities for entomologists and early-career scientists
- supporting the Society’s publishing and outreach activities that inform policy and practice
- providing increased visibility for both organisations among a global network of insect scientists, educators and conservationists
