Butterfly Conservation Europe

Butterfly Conservation Europe Butterfly Conservation Europe aims to prevent the extinction of any species of butterfly and moth, especially in Europe.

Working on their conservation, improving status and halt decline of butterflies and their habitats. Butterflies and moths are declining seriously in most countries across Europe. Action is needed urgently at a European level to halt their decline and restore a countryside rich in butterflies, moths and other wildlife. Organisations and friends in various countries across Europe have therefore come together to form Butterfly Conservation Europe.

The eBMS website will be unavailable overnight from 5 pm on Wednesday, 27 May. We expect to be back online by Thursday morning, 28 May. This is to allow a major update to the species dictionary.
This means that you can use the app, but you cannot submit data to the database or connect with the website today. We hope to be back online soon. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Here is a great example from Lithuania ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡น of the first and last observations of two ๐Ÿฆ‹species.
Some species are extending their flight periods, with the tendency for the first observations earlier and the last observations later. More people are recording nowadays, but climate change is also causing spring and autumn to become warmer, which leads to species being active for longer. There is a risk that such changes in season length will affect the phenology of species in the long term.
