Molluscan conservation is an important part of the Conchological Society's activities, and is co-ordinated by the Honorary Conservation Officer. The Society is represented on all the U.K. Government's Biodiversity Steering Groups which are concerned with the conservation of some of Britain's rarest molluscs.
Although the Society's name includes Great Britain and Ireland, our interests are worldwide. In addition to making grants for research within these islands, our grants have included work in places as far apart as Morocco and Borneo.
We also support the Congress of European Malacological Societies and the World Congress of Malacologists.
