Butterflies and moths are a vital part of our wildlife heritage and are valuable as sensitive indicators of the health of our environment. The stark fact is that butterflies and moths continue to decline at an alarming rate, despite Butterfly Conservation's best efforts over the last 50 years. Butterfly Conservation chooses to be a leader in the fight for our natural world, and together with our supporters we strive for a future where butterflies and moths thrive.

Falling numbers are an early warning to all wildlife that cannot be ignored. We have more than 40,000 Butterfly Conservation members in the UK and 32 volunteer-run Branches throughout the British Isles.
Our workforce spans across the UK, and we employ many highly qualified scientists, making us the world's largest research institute for butterflies and moths. We operate 36 nature reserves and we are leading or involved in a number of landscape-scale projects to conserve butterfly and moth habitats.
Our organisational strategy defines our priorities over the next year as we continue to drive progress towards a world where butterflies and moths can thrive.
These are:
Halve the number of the UK’s threatened species of butterflies and moths Improve the condition of 100 of the most important landscapes for butterflies and moths Transform 100,000 wild spaces in the UK for people, butterflies and moths.
Nature may be in crisis, but this is our chance to turn that crisis into opportunity. By taking bold, imaginative steps to conserve butterflies and moths, we can also help to restore biodiversity, mitigate the climate crisis, and start to rebuild the vital kinship between people and the natural world.
