British NGO sounds the alarm over the decline of butterflies and pollinators

Wildlife lovers across the UK are being encouraged to take part in a Big Butterfly Count this summer. It’s the world’s largest survey of butterflies, and lasts for just over two weeks until August 6th. Data provided by volunteers in their gardens or on walks is used by the charity Butterfly Conservation, which has noted a significant decline in numbers in recent decades. This is part of a wider crisis for insects, with modern farming practices being blamed by some experts. N°33NB4YNN°33PC9CA
