We are delighted to welcome you to Vanishing Viper 2025, which will once again bring together wildlife conservation groups and NGOs, land managers, statutory bodies and local authority planners, consultant ecologists, academic researchers, students and of course, our amazing volunteers; from across the United Kingdom and Northern Europe, to discuss how best to conserve our native adder (
Vipera berus
).
We will be hearing from a range of expert speakers who will present different aspects of adder ecology and key conservation issues and their solutions. Building on discussions held at previous meetings, this event will focus on a landscape approach, and we will learn more about landscape-level projects in: Scotland, Wales, the North Pennines, The West Midlands, East Anglia, Somerset and Kent, as well as case studies from The Netherlands and Hungary.
