Revival of the Fender's Blue Butterfly: A Conservation Story

05 Nov 2024

Description

We all love a success story and what better tale to tell than the one about the Fender’s blue? Once thought extinct, this butterfly was rediscovered 35 years ago, since when it has made a comeback thanks to hard work by dedicated scientists, land owners, agency staff, and many others.To tell us this story of hope, we are joined today by two people whose long-time collaboration has been central to this success. Cheryl Schultz is a Professor at Washington State University in Vancouver, where she studies the ecology of at-risk species, particularly butterflies of the PNW prairies. Mikki Collins works for the US Fish & Wildlife Service, and is currently the Willamette Valley Recovery Coordinator. ---Photo: Portland Corps; CC BY 2.0 Deed Attribution 2.0 Generic; https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/Thank you for listening!
