Just in time for #NationalPollinatorWeek, the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation has released an important report related to butterfly conservation.
🦋 Notable Points
🔸Butterflies populations are declining rapidly.
🔸The major causes are pesticide use, habitat loss, and climate change.
🔸We can counter the decline by making sure that 🌱 host plants for caterpillars and 🌸 nectar plants for adults are available throughout the entire growing season.
🔸We should also stop using pesticides in locations butterflies live - including our gardens.
🔸Both of these will improve their resilience to climate change.
It's not complicated. We can do our part to help!
