Grove Sykes, Land Manager with Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust, shares why he enjoys working with the Royal Entomological Society and our shared vision of seeing the endangered Large blue butterfly return to the landscape.
The iconic Large blue butterfly is a globally endangered species and was declared nationally extinct in 1979.
Thanks to the unique expertise of our conservation science team over the past 30+ years we have successfully reintroduced this rare species to Gloucestershire and Somerset, with new sites currently being identified. Seeing the Large blue fly across these landscapes has been a real conservation success story, one that truly bucks the trend of biodiversity decline.
