The core focus is on saving the most threatened species, discovering more about those we know least about and recording how species are faring as indicators of environmental health. Butterfly Conservation Wales works with many partners to manage key sites for butterflies and moths
Recording, co-ordinated by County Butterfly Recorders and County Moth Recorders, helps produce a picture of changes in species distributions. Programmes, like the UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme, help us assess the changes in abundance over time and to produce a Butterfly Index for Wales.
Butterfly Conservation is involved in many projects in Wales, either as the lead partner or providing advice and help to others. Below are featured some of our projects that demonstrate the range of our work.
