This survey of one the longest insect conservation campaigns in
Australia deals with recovery of one of the most iconic endemic
butterflies, the Richmond birdwing, threatened by clearance and
fragmentation of subtropical rainforest in eastern Australia and
the spread of an alien larval food-plant. Its conservation has
involved many aspects of community involvement, developed over more
than 20 years, and focused on habitat restoration and weed
eradication, in conjunction with conservation of remaining forest
fragments. The work has involved the entire historical range of the
butterfly, addressed threats and emphasised landscape connectivity,
and has enhanced recovery through extensive plantings of native
food plants. Interest has been maintained through extensive
publicity, community education and media activity, and the
programme has provided many lessons for advancing insect
conservation practice in the region.
