Surrey and SW London Branch Zoom talk by Dr Dan Danahar

A SURREY AND SW LONDON BUTTERFLY CONSERVATION BRANCH ZOOM TALK AT 7.0PM ON TUESDAY 12TH BY DR DAN DANAHAR:

Dan Danahar, Executive Director of Corfu Butterfly Conservation (CBC), will describe how CBC came into being and looks at how we anticipate it will develop in the future.

Corfu Butterfly Conservation was launched in April 2019. The organisation is composed of concerned residents, island visitors and scientists from throughout Europe. Its goals are to produce robust scientific data that can be used to influence policy and protect habitat for the benefit of Corfu's butterflies and the wider natural environment, as well as to stimulate public interest in butterfly conservation.
