As a member North American Butterfly Association (NABA) I am heartbroken over what is going on at NABA's National Butterfly Center .
The National Butterfly Center has 100acres of restored habitat with nectar food and caterpillar food for the hundreds of species of butterflies/pollinators that migrate through the property. The federal government is threatening to take eminent domain of the National Butterfly Center property so they can construct a continued border wall right through their property. This will affect a lot of different species of butterflies and pollinators and the center's ability to provide educaion services about these species.
This is happening at the National Butterfly Center when I finally have plans to visit this November for the very first time. And I do not want to see a wall.
A GoFundMe page has been started to help the National Butterfly Center with this fight. You can see the link below in the shared post.
As a butterfly conservation photographer and advocate, I have made my donation to the cause.
I encourage butterfly lovers, nature lovers, butterfly conservationist, butterfly photographers, and anyone who cares about butterflies and the environment to make a donation to the National Butterfly Center.
We need to stop this border wall from being built through this center to help our declining population of butterflies.
