A Manifesto for Butterflies, Moths and our Environment

A Manifesto for Butterflies, Moths and our Environment

We want to see a world where butterflies and moths thrive and can be enjoyed by everyone, forever. Our butterflies and moths are fundamental to a thriving ecosystem. If butterflies and moths are doing well, so is the environment around us. However, the UK is in a biodiversity crisis. We know what is needed to reverse these declines, but time is running out. Now is the time to act.
