Our Vision

A world where butterflies and moths thrive and can be enjoyed by everyone, forever.

Our Mission

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 40 years. Our data shows they are both declining faster than most other well-documented groups of plants and animals, so our task is both daunting and complex. For many species, we know what needs to be done to halt the decline and support recoveries. In order to tackle these losses and achieve the aims of the charity, we have to dramatically increase our capacity and influence over the next few years. Our work will benefit other wildlife and the ecosystems upon which all life depends.

Butterfly Conservation is keen to involve more young people and to be more inclusive in our work and volunteering opportunities. We run a series of workshops, training and events throughout the year anyone can get involved in either through the local branch or staff in NI.
