Title
Butterfly Conservation Initiative
Description
Mission
The Butterfly Conservation Initiative is dedicated to the conservation of threatened, endangered, and vulnerable North American butterflies and the habitats that sustain them, with a focus on recovery, research, and education.
History
The Butterfly Conservation Initiative was established in 2001 as a result of conversations between the American Zoo and Aquarium Association and the US Fish and Wildlife Service's Office of Partnerships and Outreach.
Together we sought to devise ways in which AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums and their partners could work together to become leaders in their local conservation communities. Rather than focusing exclusively on conservation efforts scattered throughout the world, AZA members wanted also to make a difference in their own backyards.
