A leading wildlife charity has declared a ‘butterfly emergency’ in the UK following a sharp decline in butterfly populations. The organization warns that habitat loss, climate change, and pesticide use are driving many species to the brink of extinction. Conservationists are urging the public to take immediate action by planting butterfly-friendly plants and reducing pesticide use in gardens. The charity emphasizes that butterflies are vital pollinators and their decline could have devastating effects on broader ecosystems.
