Book excerpt: This survey of one the longest insect conservation campaigns in Australia deals with recovery of one of the most iconic endemic butterflies, the Richmond birdwing, threatened by clearance and fragmentation of subtropical rainforest in eastern Australia and the spread of an alien larval food-plant. Its conservation has involved many aspects of community involvement, developed over more than 20 years, and focused on habitat restoration and weed eradication, in conjunction with conservation of remaining forest fragments. The work has involved the entire historical range of the butterfly, addressed threats and emphasised landscape connectivity, and has enhanced recovery through extensive plantings of native food plants. Interest has been maintained through extensive publicity, community education and media activity, and the programme has provided many lessons for advancing insect conservation practice in the region.

Book Synopsis Ecology and Conservation of Butterflies by : A.S. Pullin

Download or read book Ecology and Conservation of Butterflies written by A.S. Pullin. This book was released on 2012-12-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was conceived to mark the Silver Jubilee of the British Butterfly Conservation Society. Interest in the conservation of butterflies has increased so rapidly that it is difficult to relate to the situation 25 years ago. Butterflies were on the decline in Britain, Europe and elsewhere but we lacked data on the extent of the decline and the underlying reasons, leaving us unable to implement effective conservation measures. An early recognition of the plight of British butterflies and moths led to the foundation of the society by a small group of conservationists in 1968. Today the society has over 10000 members, owns a number of reserves and sponsors research, conservation and monitoring activities at the local and national level. As part of the Silver Jubilee celebrations an international symposium was held at Keele University in September 1993 entitled 'Ecology and Conservation of Butterflies'. This symposium clearly showed how much important work has been done in recent years and also gave me the impression that the subject had reached a watershed. This was not because the decline of butterflies has stopped or even slowed down, far from it, the threat to our butterflies continues to increase from habitat destruction and intensification of land use. The watershed is in our understanding of the relationship between butterflies and their habitat.

Book Synopsis Butterfly Conservation by : T. R. New

Download or read book Butterfly Conservation written by T. R. New. This book was released on 1991. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Butterflies are among the most appealing and best-studied insects, but many species have declined in abundance during recent decades, and the need for their conservation has engendered concern and ongoing efforts in many parts of the world. This book is a broad survey of the emerging science of butterfly conservation. It traces the more general concern for invertebrate wellbeing, the causes of butterfly decline and--within the context of a summary of butterfly biology and using examples from several countries--illustrates attempts to conserve particular butterfly species, local assemblages, and whole faunas. The references and practical advice given will be of interest to a wide range of entomologists, naturalists and conservationists, and lepidopterists everywhere.
