I had always wanted to draw butterflies and finally I am given the opportunity, really be fascinated with the final result, I hope you also like it.

🦋 The Butterfly 🦋

They give beauty to nature, but today they suffer the impact of human activity and are alerted to its possible disappearance. What can we do?

Let's start with a question: today we see as many butterflies as when we were little? Surely the answer is negative. Because currently the different species of butterflies some to a greater extent than others are threatened by different reasons and their number has been significantly reduced in recent years.

And why is doing something to save them so important?

Because the butterflies are vital for the environment, since they are the main pollinating agents that exist: they transfer the pollen from one side to another (from the stamen to the stigma) in the flower to guarantee the production of seeds and fruits.

But there is another element, perhaps more subtle, but no less crucial: its beauty. Butterflies are important from the aesthetic point of view: they are a source of inspiration and joy. The flight of the butterfly inspires from metaphors and songs to poems and is a universal symbol of the beautiful, which has a cultural relevance. We focus on three questions to understand the problem and, above all, to act.

Let's make the butterfly flutter continue and multiply!

What can we do?

If the formula of the problem is to take care of the plant-butterfly link, here is also the solution. We have to guarantee, care for and promote that there are native plants in the cities, and you can start with your house, your balcony, garden or the green roof of your building.

Another tip is to participate in the awareness activities of conservation NGOs, which not only organize talks, but also deliver seeds and seedlings of native plants.
