The latest results from our UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme show that butterflies bounced back in the summer of 2019, with their best year since 1997. Just over half of UK butterfly species showed higher population levels in 2019 compared with 2018.
This wonderful result was covered by The Times, The Guardian, The Telegraph and many other media outlets, helping spread a bit of happiness in these challenging times.
