80% of butterflies have decreased, nature is in decline. Please act now.

In the recently released State of the UK’s Butterflies report, our scientists have issued a stark warning: time is running out to save the UK’s butterflies. We must take urgent action now to turn this dire situation around. As indicators to a healthy environment, the sharp decline of butterflies shows us the huge scale and severity of biodiversity loss to come.

But it’s not too late!

Despite gloomy pictures, the report proves our targeted, multi-angled conservation action is successful but we must rapidly expand to meet the scale of this crisis. Please donate today.

Let’s be the generation that turns the tide of biodiversity loss and save butterflies, moths and our environment

"This report is yet more compelling evidence of nature’s decline in the UK. We are totally dependent on the natural world for food, water and clean air. The state of our species and habitats shows that the natural world is in trouble. We need swift and effective action on this. The decline in butterflies we have seen in our own lifetimes is shocking and we can no longer stand by and watch the UK’s biodiversity be destroyed."
