The Butterfly Conservation Charity is organising The Big Butterfly Count which runs from Friday 12th July to Sunday 4th August.
Butterfly declines are an early warning for other wildlife losses. Butterflies are key biodiversity indicators for scientists as they react very quickly to changes in their environment. Therefore, if their numbers are falling, then nature is in trouble. So tracking numbers of butterflies is crucial in the fight to conserve our natural world. That’s why taking part in this massive citizen science enterprise is of great importance not just for our butterflies but for the wider environment and biodiversity in general.
Let’s get Seaford on the Butterfly map and record as many sightings as possible between the 12th July and the 4th August.
