Found an interesting article by nwf.org about the effort being made in USA to restore and save many of the endangered butterfly species on that continent. 23 species in threatened in the US due to habitat loss, pollution, global warming and invasive species. The butterflies are also facing other problems because of how specialized they are.

In addition to saving their natural habitats some conservationists are using captive-breeding program to try boost the population of some butterfly species.

In my opinion we need to stop the negative trend where we turn every little piece of land into places that “benefit” humans and start to little by little restore the nature so we don’t make all these species go extinct.
