Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the influence of wildlife conservation grew, both nationally and internationally. JCCBI maintained contact with wider networks of environmental organisations, as best it could, through bodies such as IUCN and the Council for Nature. In some ways, the demise of the Council for Nature in 1980 came as a relief to those members representing JCCBI at its meetings. They faced continual sniping from the better-endowed bodies (particularly those concerned with bird conservation) over the inability of the entomological community to match the financial contributions of other organisations.

G. Buck (1962) on the Coleoptera, Morris and Dolling (1969) on Heteroptera and Morris (1969) on aquatic Heteroptera, mainly Corixidae. Duffey (1971) published an account of the management of the Fen. Naturally, entomological activity, and rudimentary concern for insect conservation, was not confined to the East Anglian fens, but their history demonstrates that entomology influenced developing approaches to nature conservation more broadly. Thus the stage was set, so to speak, for a more formal approach to insect conservation in Britain.

26) Roger Key – Representative, English Nature. 6 33 Legislation and Collecting The nineteenth century origins of the Committee in entomologists’ own concerns about over-collecting, the importance of collecting for the study of many invertebrate taxa, and the value of a voluntary Code of Conduct for collecting which is broadly supported across the entomological community, are all noted above. g. see Fry and Lonsdale 1991; Kirby 2001), rather than measures that could do more to inhibit the study of invertebrates than enhance their conservation, such as restrictions on collecting where there is no evidence that this is a threat to natural populations, has been a recurrent theme in discussions of the Committee, particularly in relation to legislation.
