Large blue butterfly flying high again

Our generation has grown up with the development of the climate change’s conflict. We are the people who have been receptive to the information about the consequences of it, like the threatened species or, directly, the extinct species. While we observe a huge biodiversity in wildlife, there are also species reducing their number in response to our acts.
In southern England habits the rare Large Blue Butterfly. Its special feature is where they past the winter before the transformation to butterfly. The large blue caterpillar uses like strategy to survive the ants’ nest, located in the underground, where the larvae feed on ant grubs. After this period, in June, the caterpillar is a butterfly. However, this specie was extinct in 1979 and reintroduced in 2000 successfully, being a number increase of 22% in 2008.
The article focuses in the reintroduction of this specie to the Collard Hill (near Glastonbury, England) and in the expected increase of their population for the somerset this month, becoming a record. The butterflies have been helped for survive in there thanks to ecologists from the Oxford University, who promoted the care of grassland with cattle Dartmoor Ponies. Plus the good weather expected for the spring (remember that it is when Chile is in winter) and the help from National Trust organization, the future of this specie seems encouraging.
Even though the future of the Large Blue Butterfly is in some part insure, there are other butterflies species in danger like the small tortoiseshell, the small copper and the wall brown. For that motive they are making an online tot up for compile information from the observed species.


I found important the diffusion of the aim of this article for motive people. Spread this initiatives, with species from Chile for example, could be useful for people know what species are endangered, how recognize and help them. I love this area from veterinary, if I have to choose a specialization, I might say conservation. I hope that this motive you too, it is a great topic!
