Butterfly Conservation is the UK charity dedicated to saving butterflies, moths and our environment.

Butterflies and moths are important because they respond quickly to change, revealing the health of the countryside. Seven out of ten butterfly species are in decline. Four butterflies and over 60 moths became extinct last century. This early warning to all wildlife cannot be ignored.

We advise landowners, managers and other organisations on conserving and restoring important habitats in the countryside, towns and cities. We carry out surveys, monitoring and research, manage nature reserves and promote wildlife friendly gardening.

With your support we can help struggling butterflies and moths recover and thrive.

Log your butterfly and moth sightings on our website, and get in touch if you have any Butterfly or Moth Identificaton questions.
