Conservation Efforts Showed Success in Thriving UK Butterfly Populations
"We're thrilled to be seeing some good indicators for species like the heath fritillary, especially when the overall long-term picture for UK butterflies is one of severe loss," said Butterfly Conservation's Richard Fox. "It emphasizes the need for habitat management and restoration." The heath fritillary is an excellent example of a species that, if not for conservation efforts, would probably definitely have gone extinct in Britain by now."
