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.
Our five urgent asks to secure a wilder, healthier future for butterflies, moths, and people:
More budget for butterflies.
We need the government to double the budget for species recovery.
Take action for our landscapes.
We need to improve the most important places for butterflies and moths through landscape-scale action.
Access to nature for all.
The wellbeing benefits of nature need recognising – everyone should have a wild space within 15 minutes’ walk.
Ban pollinator-killing pesticides for good.
Environmentally damaging neonicotinoids need banning immediately, with no exception.
Take light pollution seriously.
Recognise light pollution, a huge threat to moths, as an environmental pollutant and set legally binding targets for its reduction.
