Five butterflies have become extinct in Britain in the last 100 years and several more species will follow unless urgent action is taken. Even our common butterflies have become severely reduced in number, and, for many people, butterflies are no longer an intrinsic part of summer days in the garden and the countryside.

By joining Butterfly Conservation, you can support us and take part in our work to save UK butterflies and moths from extinction. Members receive our award winning magazine three times a year and membership of their local branch.

Conservation
Objectives:

• Halt the decline of UK butterflies and moths, and improve the status of all threatened species.
  
  
• Improve the extent and suitability of key habitats for butterflies and moths (such as broad-leaved woodland, chalk and limestone grassland), and also the quality of the countryside as a whole.
  
  
• Place our conservation actions and priorities in a European and world context and disseminate our conservation knowledge internationally.
  
  
• Encourage public involvement in conservation, for example by creating butterfly-friendly habitats in parks and gardens, and participation in local and national projects.
  
  
• Collaborate with other voluntary and statutory groups to achieve our goals.
  
  
• Create opportunities for Butterfly Conservation volunteers to organise and participate in national and local conservation programmes, including reserve management.
