Butterfly Conservation

Butterfly Conservation is the UK charity dedicated to saving butterflies, moths and our environment.

Our vision is a world where butterflies and moths thrive, and can be enjoyed by everyone, everywhere.

Butterflies and moths are important in their own right and people enjoy seeing them in their gardens and the countryside. They are sensitive to change and their fortunes help us assess the health of our environment. Two thirds of butterflies and moths are in decline. This is a warning that cannot be ignored.

Butterfly Conservation creates landscapes for butterflies and moths, and we have an established record of reversing declines. Our research advises people how to conserve and restore habitats. We run programmes for more for more than 100 threatened species and are involved in conserving thousands of sites and reserves.

We rely on donations, memberships and grants to fund our work. With your support we can help butterflies and moths thrive.
