Researchers Need Help Photographing Butterflies
Calling all citizen scientists for a global butterfly census.


The Global Butterfly Census is asking for help to track butterflies in their natural habitat around the world.

“We aim to create a first statistical study within a year and share the collected data with existing scientific databases that map the distribution and quantity of butterflies in the world. The idea is to contribute to broadening our knowledge of butterflies.”

How to Take Part
To participate, people are asked to snap a photo, making sure not to disturb the butterfly, and send it in via WhatsApp (+39 351 2522520) along with the location coordinates.3

Someone from Friend of the Earth will reply with the species’ name. The information will be filed on an interactive map on the group’s website and entered into a database.1
