Our Mission

NABA is dedicated to the conservation of wild butterflies and their habitats. Butterflies are wildlife, and should be valued and protected as such. As pollinators they are critical to our shared environment, and as indicator species they give us early warning of environmental peril. Butterflies are a key link in the food chain. Butterflies are also wondrous and magical in a way that singularly captures our imaginations and connects people with nature and each other. NABA envisions a future where wild butterflies thrive in healthy habitats, none are threatened or endangered, and all people can enjoy observing them in nature.
