Why care?
It doesn’t end with the
butterflies. They’re essential
for the food chain.
Bird populations are declining
by up to 20 percent
in many places because
insects are their primary
food. Plants are no longer
pollinated and thus their
natural development is
inhibited. This also has a
direct impact on people
and agriculture. Without
pollinators, the supply of
domestic fruit and vegetables
is likely to be reduced
in the future.
