Butterfly conservation is an umbrella term describing the work of a variety of organizations worldwide that seek to assist in research, species recovery efforts, and public education toward the goal of preserving at-risk butterfly species in the wild. Such organizations exist in many countries, including the United Kingdom and the United States. Often these groups work in conjunction with other organizations, including nonprofits, scientific institutions, and national agencies.
Endangered or imperiled butterflies face a variety of threats. The problems facing butterfly populations can include the reduction of breeding or habitation sites because of deforestation, development, or natural disasters. Other factors that threaten some varieties of butterfliesinclude pesticide use, non-native predators, diseases, and loss of plant species that typically host butterfly larvae. Butterfly conservation efforts seek to lessen the impact of these threats on specific butterfly species.
An effective species recovery plan requires detailed information about the needs of specific butterfly populations. For some species, sufficient amounts of data are not yet available for the creation of a thorough recovery plan. Some butterfly conservation organizations seek to help fill in the information gaps by providing support for the gathering of research data on specific types of at-risk butterflies.
