Yesterday, I was at Stirling University for Butterfly Conservation, Scottish Spring meeting. Was lovely to catch-up with fellow butterfly enthusiasts and listen to some great updates. Meeting was videoed so should be up on YouTube soon.
Joe Wynne 🌻🚗⛰️Report: State of the Butterflies in the United States
🦋 More than one-fifth of our butterflies disappeared between 2000 and 2020.
🦋 Over 40% of assessed species fell in numbers by 50% or more—and two dozen species suffered more than 90% losses.
🦋 "Butterfly habitat should be woven into all parts of our landscapes—farmland, utility corridors, solar arrays, bike paths, roadsides, natural areas, and backyard and community gardens—to provide homes for common and wide-ranging butterflies as well as rare and at-risk species."
🦋 "To recover butterflies, we must combine efforts across towns and cities, working lands, and natural areas as well as in the linkages and stepping stones which provide connecting pathways."
👉 All is not lost! Have a garden, pots or access to a natural area or park? Join me in building back habitat for butterflies. I will post useful resources and share my experiences and tips. Share yours as well.
🌷 I'll also post butterfly gardens from my travels. Many have a head start in this.
