Episode Details

Despite some species thriving due to warmer weather, the UKs butterfly population faces serious decline. The UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme reveals that 33 out of 59 native species are declining, with specialists like the white-letter hairstreak and pearl-bordered fritillary crashing hard. Adaptable butterflies are faring better, extending their ranges northward, but habitat loss from farming and development poses a significant threat. The UKs sunniest year on record did little to boost butterfly numbers, highlighting the urgent need for conservation efforts to save these species.
