Wildlife information for wildlife conservation.
The Wildlife Information Service (WIS) for Cornwall, run by ERCCIS, acts as the first point of call for anyone wanting to enquire about wildlife in Cornwall. Acting as a one-stop-shop, WIS allows the enquirer quick and effective access to the wealth of biological and earth science information held at ERCCIS.
Whether you want to find out what plants and animals can be found in the area where you live, which sites in Cornwall are most important for wildlife, or where species such as the common dormouse can be found, WIS can provide the answers.
ERCCIS keeps up to date with a wide range of facts, figures and reports meaning ERCCIS can provide information on almost any wildlife issue from advice on creating a wildlife pond suitable for Cornwall, identify funding sources for conservation projects to providing guidelines for conducting a biological survey for reptiles. Make use of the wealth of information and expertise available through ERCCIS. Information is provided in an easy to understand format, and tailored to the needs of the individual or organisation making the request. We look forward to hearing from you.


WIS can produce and provide up to date distribution maps of particular species of interest for any area, such as the common dormouse shown above.
