The country-wide nonprofit, which is dedicated to conserving butterflies, moths and the environment, said it was “hugely concerned” for the species’ future in Britain as it reported 80% of butterfly species have decreased in abundance or distribution or both since the 1970s. Out of the four UK nations, England’s butterfly population was found to have declined the most.
