PRESS RELEASE THE 33rd ANNUAL NABA BUTTERFLY COUNT

Butterflies are one of the most beautiful elements of the natural world, and scientists now recognize that they can also serve an one important indicator of the health of ecosystems. A dedicated group of local naturalists will soon be both enjoying their beauty and contributing to a nationwide program that conducts long-term monitoring of butterfly populations. They welcome public participation, and while knowledge of butterflies is a plus, it is not necessary.

The NABA Butterfly Count program has been held annually since 1975, when only 29 counts were held. In 2006, 483 counts were held in the U.S., , and Mexico. Volunteers around North America select a count area 15 miles in diameter and conduct a one- day census of all butterflies observed within that circle. The counts are usually held in the few weeks before or after early July, but the best timing for butterfly observation in each count circle varies. The count program is intended to promote interest in butterflies and provide results useful for scientific monitoring of this beautiful and fascinating group of .

The North American Butterfly Association (NABA) organizes the counts and publishes their annual reports. For more information on NABA and the count program, please send a self-addressed, stamped business envelope to: NABA, 4 Delaware Road, Morristown, NJ 07960. Or check out our website at www.naba.org.
