Butterfly World will be a great chance to educate people about the sad declines in butterflies.

However, UK butterflies need to be conserved on the ground, nationwide,which is what Butterfly Conservation does in all areas of the country.

Work is starting on the £25m butterfly experience is expected to attract, educate and inspire up to 1m visitors when it is fully operational in spring 2011.

This will be the world’s biggest walk-through butterfly experience with over 10,000 tropical butterflies in flight at any one time creating a kaleidoscope of movement and colour filling the 100m transparent bio-dome.

It will also feature external gardens designed and planted for native butterflies.
