Our ultimate goal is to help restore a balanced countryside with butterflies and other wildlife restored to the profusion that they, and we, once enjoyed.



Our specific objectives are to:



- Halt the decline of UK butterflies and moths, and improve the status of all threatened species.



- Improve the extent and suitability of key habitats for butterflies and moths (such as broad-leaved woodland, chalk and limestone grassland), and also the quality of the countryside as a whole.



- Place our conservation actions and priorities in a European and world context and disseminate our conservation knowledge internationally.



- Encourage public involvement in conservation, for example by creating butterfly-friendly habitats in parks and gardens, and participation in local and national projects.



- Collaborate with other voluntary and statutory groups to achieve our goals.



- Create opportunities for Butterfly Conservation volunteers to organise and participate in national, and local conservation programmes, including reserve management.
