Butterfly Species Champions

The Upper Thames Branch's Species Champion programme aims to increase our knowledge and conservation efforts for the most threatened species of butterfly in the UTB area. Each Species Champion specialises in a key species and aims to study its behaviour, abundance, range and habitat requirements. Each Champion is expected to produce an annual report about their species.
