sense of amazement. Jaret C. Daniels has spent more than 30 years

The book addresses this critical need by providing a
straightforward and easy to read primer to key elements of at-risk
butterfly conservation programs including captive husbandry,
organism reintroduction, habitat restoration, population
monitoring, recovery planning and cooperative programs. Impacts
from habitat loss and fragmentation, invasive species, and climate
change continue to accelerate the rate of imperilment and
necessitate increased conservation action. Zoos, natural history
museums, botanical gardens and wildlife agencies are progressively
focusing on insects, particularly charismatic groups such as
butterflies and native pollinators, to help advance local
conservation efforts and foster increased community interest and
engagement. Today, many institutions and their partners have
successfully initiated at-risk butterfly conservation programs, and
numerous others are exploring ways to become involved. However,
insufficient experience and familiarity with insects is a critical
constraint preventing staff and institutions from adequately
planning, implementing and evaluating organism-targeted activities.
The information provided is intended to improve staff practices,
learn from existing programs, promote broader information exchange,
and strengthen institutional ability to develop new or improve
existing butterfly conservation initiatives. The information
provided is intended to improve staff practices, learn from
