Our 2021-2026 Strategy
Our new organisational strategy defines our priorities over the next year as we continue to drive progress towards a world where butterflies and moths can thrive.

Butterflies and moths are among the most threatened groups of wildlife in the UK. Without your support, we cannot continue our vital work to protect them.

Make a Space for Nature
Since 1945 the UK has lost 98% of its meadows. This habitat loss along with climate change means that our butterflies and moths are in severe decline. But... it doesn’t have to be this way. We are embarking on a campaign to transform the UK into a butterfly and moth-friendly haven and we need you to help.
