Help secure a future for the Large blue butterfly – Big Give 2025
FeatureThe iconic Large blue butterfly is a globally endangered species and was declared nationally extinct in 1979, and is particularly vulnerable to changing weather patterns. Our conservation scientists have been researching this species for many years and have unique international expertise to carry out in-depth surveys of Large blues and associated species to help us identify population trends and give evidence-based advice to land managers to support this endangered species.
We now need your help to support the butterfly’s survival, increasing its populations in a changing climate
