Saving swallowtail and birdwing butterflies
To help celebrate World Swallowtail Day 2020, here is something you can try at home. Our free children’s’ Colouring Book features seven swallowtails and birdwings from around the world ready for you to print out and colour in. Why not give it a try with your children and grandchildren?
Here below is a guide to the colours you might choose to use! Do feel free to let us know how you get on by contacting info@sbbt.org.uk. We would love to hear from you!
The mission of the Swallowtail and Birdwing Butterfly Trust is to conserve and protect members of the Papilionidae, a worldwide family of more than 580 species that include the largest, most spectacular and most endangered butterflies on the planet.
SBBT aims to build the capacity of local people and organisations to achieve long-lasting conservation and sustainable change.
We achieve this in four ways: we raise financial resources; convene research networks and partnerships; catalyse action, and provide scientific and technical support to conservation projects.
Our work is generally planned and executed in the context of wider butterfly faunas, their foodplants, and the ecosystems that they inhabit.
Financial contributions are welcome and will be treasured. We also need your ideas, new information, suggestions and encouragement!
