Bonn Tender, active: Butterflies are not popular, not, not Only as spring messengers. We show them on clothes and tombstones, on cups and as a tattoo. They are everywhere. Only in nature do they become increasingly rare.
butterflies fascinate with their colorful appearance and their delicate wing. They are symbols for transformation and transience and have won a permanent place in culture and art. However, many types of butterfly have been at risk in recent years. This has several causes that can be traced mainly to the loss of habitats, climate change and the use of pesticides.
Loss of habitat is the biggest problem that butterflies face. The intensification of agriculture, urbanization and the cutout of forests significantly affect their habitats. Butterflies are dependent on certain plants, both as a source of food for the adult animals and as food for their caterpillars. With the disappearance of these plant species, the livelihood of the butterflies is also reduced.
Climate change also has far -reaching consequences for the butterfly populations. Extreme weather events, temperature fluctuations and shifts in the ecosystems represent great challenges. Some species can adapt to changed conditions, but others are at risk.
In order to combat the threat of their habitats, measures to protect butterflies and their habitats are necessary. This can be done through the creation and preservation of nature and nature reserves, the waiver of chemical pesticides in agriculture and through the promotion of gardens that house butterfly-friendly plants. Each individual can contribute to the preservation of these fascinating creatures through simple measures in their own garden or on the balcony.
