Conservationists are relocating the rare white-faced darter dragonfly to South Solway Mosses in Cumbria, as its breeding sites in peat bogs are threatened by hotter, drying summers. Recognizable by its chalk-white face and vibrant flame-colored markings, this dragonfly is facing the risk of local extinction due to declining populations. The initiative aims to bolster its numbers and ensure the species’ survival in light of environmental challenges affecting its natural habitat.
