Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

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”.
