Sir David Attenborough, Butterfly Conservation President, will open this year's International Symposium: The 2010 Target and Beyond for Lepidoptera.

The biggest gathering of its kind, the symposium will be held from 26 to 28 March 2010 at Reading University.

Delegates can expect reviews of progress towards the 2010 target from the UK, Europe and countries throughout the world, as well as the latest science on how to reverse the decline of butterflies and moths, and conserve habitats.

The programme provides opportunities for researchers from across the world, as well as members, to present papers or posters on practical conservation work. The conference will end with a forward look at future challenges, including the impact of climate change.
