Butterfly Conservation
Butterfly and moths charity
Butterfly Conservation is a UK charity aiming to save butterflies, moths and our environment. It was formed by a small group of dedicated naturalists in 1968 following the alarming decline of many beautiful butterflies and moths. We have a range of projects and a hugely dedicated team of staff and thousands of passionate volunteers that help us each year in delivering inspiring conservation work to save butterflies and moths across the UK
