Members of the public can dive into the past as our conservationists launch an interactive map bringing to life the history of Critically Endangered ‘dinosaur’ fish – as part of urgent work to protect the remaining few.

Launching today, the Sturgeon in the UK map allows users to step back in time and explore over 2,500 historical records of sturgeon in the UK in a bid to boost conservation efforts for the species.

Created by ZSL, which coordinates the UK Sturgeon Alliance, the map created in partnership with Natural England highlights historic hotspots for focusing modern conservation action, while also providing the public and policy makers the opportunity to explore over 400 years of sightings of this forgotten part of UK wildlife.
