Our Mission

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.
 

Aims

SBBT aims to build the capacity of local people and organisations to achieve long-lasting conservation and sustainable change.

Methods

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.

Wider Reach

Our work is generally planned and executed in the context of wider butterfly faunas, their foodplants, and the ecosystems that they inhabit.

Giving

Financial contributions are welcome and will be treasured. We also need your ideas, new information, suggestions and encouragement!
