Butterflies are beautiful, arenโt they! We all want to see them around, and the good news is that they are easy to see and identify. But like many insects, they are quickly disappearing. What can we do to help them? What measures help most?
In our project Agroecology-TRANSECT we want to close an important knowledge gap for agricultural lands and rural areas, asking how different agricultural practices affect butterflies and which agro-ecological measures work best for butterflies.
