There seems to be a theme or a cause for pretty much every week or day in the year nowadays, with things such as National Beard week and National Pirate day to name a few.
But, today is the start of a week we at Catfish reckon is one of the most important…from the 24th July to the 1st August is Save our Butterflies week.
This week is dedicated to celebrating the beauty of British butterflies,and promoting ways to stop their decline.
Although for most of us butterflies herald the start of summer, they are also good indicators of how the enviroment is faring as they are sensitive to even the slightest change in conditions, and this is why, many people believe their numbers have declined so rapidly over the last few years, with even some species becoming extinct.
So join in with this week, see the Butterfly Conservation website for how you can get involved, you will be joining the ranks of people such as nature giant himself Sir David Attenborough, who is its President and of course us Cats.
So next time you see a butterfly flitting by remember its not just for summer.
