So, by now you have read about the threats to ladybird populations in South Africa and perhaps also a little bit about the solutions to these challenges. You may be left wondering what exactly it is that you can do to help…
-
Implement ladybird-friendly gardening practices (for more information see the Ladybird Handout)
-
If you are a parent or teacher, consider facilitating a short lesson on ladybirds with your children. If you are an educator, send us a picture of your class during the lesson with details (school and class) and we will issue your class with a certificate! (for more, have a look at our kids’ page)
-
Send us suggestions of nurseries in your neighbourhood that we can contact to distribute our information leaflets.
-
Upload pictures of ladybirds you have spotted around your area to our iSpot page to aid with research and monitoring on ladybird diversity and distribution in South Africa.
