Butterfly Conservation is an insect conservation organization in the United Kingdom. It was formed in 1968 as the British Butterfly Conservation Society by a small group of dedicated naturalists, headed by Sir Peter Scott.
The aim of the new Society was to try to halt the alarming decline of many butterfly and moth species in Britain, and at the same time help safeguard the environment itself. Since that time, Butterfly Conservation has become the largest insect conservation organisation in Europe and possibly even the world. It has over 30 regional branches covering the whole of the UK. The branches are backed by a central organisation responsible for co-ordination, fund-raising, research and national policy matters. There are offices in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
The society is a registered charity with headquarters at East Lulworth, near Wareham in Dorset. The president of the society is (2007) Sir David Attenborough and the Chief Executive is Dr Martin Warren.
