|  | This year's Big Butterfly Count has come to an end, and Butterfly Conservation would like to thank everyone who took the time to get involved, go outside and count butterflies and day-flying moths. They received over 130,000 counts from across the UK, however, this year’s results have revealed that 81% of species are showing a significant decline in population numbers, with 600,000 fewer butterflies recorded than last year.
The NHBS team participated in the Big Butterfly Count this year, and we are excited to share our results on the Conservation Hub. |
