Butterfly Conservation

Butterfly Conservation’s mission is to save butterflies and moths, and thus our environment. It has raised awareness of the extent of declines of many species of butterflies and moths, and has created widespread acceptance of the need for action to combat these declines. It has a network of several thousand volunteers co-ordinated by its local branches.

What is National Insect Week?

National Insect Week encourages people of all ages to learn more about insects.

Every two years, the Royal Entomological Society organises the week, supported by a large number of partner organisations with interests in the science, natural history and conservation of insects.
