Butterfly Conservation
Butterfly Conservation is a UK-wide nonprofit environmentalist organisation and charity dedicated to conserving butterflies, moths, and the environment. The charity uses its research to provide advice on how to conserve and restore butterfly and moth habitats and it runs projects to protect more than 100 threatened species of Lepidoptera. Butterfly Conservation is also involved in conserving hundreds of sites and reserves for butterflies and moths throughout the UK.
Butterfly Conservation has more than 37,000 members and 31 volunteer-led branches throughout the UK, as well as the European Butterflies Group. The organisation's head office is based in East Lulworth, Dorset, with additional offices in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The organisation was originally formed in 1968 as the British Butterfly Conservation Society by a small group of naturalists and it was registered as a charity on 7 March 1968. It was incorporated as a company on 17 December 1987, and changed its name to Butterfly Conservation in December 2003.
Sir David Attenborough became President of the society in 1998. It launched its annual butterfly survey - the Big Butterfly Count - in 2010. The charity celebrated its 50th anniversary year in 2018.
Butterfly Conservation aims to maintain and enhance landscapes for butterflies and moths. The charity provides advice to landowners and managers on how to conserve and restore habitats. Its staff and volunteers work to gather extensive butterfly and moth data and conduct research to provide the scientific evidence that underpins and informs the charity's work.
Butterfly Conservation has an established record of reversing declines and run programmes for more than 100 threatened species of butterflies and moths.
Butterfly Conservation operates three of the world’s largest butterfly and moth recording schemes, which together have gathered more than 60 million records. This includes the world's largest butterfly survey, the Big Butterfly Count. This citizen science survey encourages people to spot and record common butterflies and two day-flying moths during three weeks of high summer.
The charity also runs a number of moths schemes and conservation activities focusing solely on the conservation of moths that people can get involved in.
