I'm always interested in insect conservation. In the US we have xerces.org the Entomological Association of America is a professional service org not so much conservation, though I'd expect them to be sympathetic to those goals.
If you are in France you should check OPIE out (Office for Protection of Insects and Entomology) though I can't tell if it's a government organization or a non-profit?
L'association Opie | L'Office pour les Insectes et leur Environnement - Opie
Qu'est ce que l'OPIE ? Spécialistes des Insectes et acteur dans l'éducation et la protection à l'environnement, l'OPIE s'inscrit comme une référence entomologique.

xerces is also for invertebrates so clam fans can take note of that.
Naturally I think that every country should have something like an "Office of Ants" but, this is just work for the future.
