Butterflies on Decline

They're a much loved icon of the British countryside, but our fragile butterfly population is facing a weighty problem: they are being spotted less and less.

Over the past two decades, intensive farming, land use and climate change have resulted in 70% of UK species declining.

Led by Sir David Attenborough, conservationists are now so concerned, they've launched a new campaign to stop them from dying out altogether.
