This book was conceived to mark the Silver Jubilee of the British
Butterfly Conservation Society. Interest in the conservation of
butterflies has increased so rapidly that it is difficult to relate
to the situation 25 years ago. Butterflies were on the decline in
Britain, Europe and elsewhere but we lacked data on the extent of
the decline and the underlying reasons, leaving us unable to
implement effective conservation measures. An early recognition of
the plight of British butterflies and moths led to the foundation
of the society by a small group of conservationists in 1968. Today
the society has over 10000 members, owns a number of reserves and
sponsors research, conservation and monitoring activities at the
local and national level. As part of the Silver Jubilee
celebrations an international symposium was held at Keele
University in September 1993 entitled 'Ecology and Conservation of
Butterflies'. This symposium clearly showed how much important work
has been done in recent years and also gave me the impression that
the subject had reached a watershed. This was not because the
decline of butterflies has stopped or even slowed down, far from
it, the threat to our butterflies continues to increase from
habitat destruction and intensification of land use. The watershed
is in our understanding of the relationship between butterflies and
their habitat.
