An oasis for butterflies on Mount Ulia de Donostia
- In these times of destruction and transformation of the butterfly habitats, the Zerynthia Association works on the recovery of spaces for them. In collaboration with the Cristina Enea Foundation, on this occasion they have made the oasis of butterflies in the Interpretation Center of Ulía. It will open on 30 April and a workshop has been organized for the youngest.
The main threat to butterflies and other invertebrates is the destruction and alteration of their habitats. In urban environments, especially, there is a great problem in the use of pesticides and in the deterioration of the environment, the Cristina Enea Foundation has warned.
The Zerynthia association has launched the butterfly oasis network, which this Saturday will inaugurate the one of Ulia, with the aim of restoring the proper habitats for butterflies. For that day, a didactic workshop has been organized to explain what the oases and curiosities of the butterflies that are their inhabitants are.
The habitat for butterflies has been made possible by volunteers, who in recent weeks will help different species of plants and flowers to have a suitable environment to survive butterflies. The space will also have an information panel explaining, among other things, “the decisive role that butterflies play in maintaining the biodiversity of a natural environment such as Mount Ulia”.
