Butterfly Pavilion hired Bayarmaa Duinkherjav, a PhD student at the Mongolian Academy of Sciences, to work with our team and lead comprehensive habitat and species research for the Parnassius apollo butterfly in Mongolia! Bayarmaa states, “The Parnassius apollo butterfly is one of the most threatened butterflies in Europe. Over the past 25 years, its numbers have declined by 20-50%. By protecting the species itself, other species and habitats associated with it, are also protected.” Thank you to Bayarmaa, for being a voice for this endangered species and for the dedication you show for its critical conservation and research. YOU CAN BE A VOICE for invertebrates too by giving today to Butterfly Pavilion! Visit Butterflies.org/donate to support.
