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.
