Today is the start of 'Save Our Butterflies Week' in the UK, 21 - 29 July, 2007, and there are many
events throughout the country, organized by Butterfly Conservation.
Britain has 55 resident butterfly species and several more regular visitors from abroad but five butterflies have become extinct in the UK in the last 150 years and many species have become endangered in recent years. Butterfly Conservation has instituted an extensive conservation programme to raise awareness and save them.
