The Conservationists Assemble is back with volume 44! Today's episode is all about the Large Heath Butterfly and tells an empowering story of UK conservation success! Joining me are Alan Wright and Jenny Bennion of the Lancashire Wildlife Trust. Find out how this species has returned from extinction and how an unknown habitat in our peatlands can be so beneficial to so many species but also us as humans.Check out the resources below to learn more and how to get involved!
