Butterflies cannot wait any longer. We're calling on ministers to do what they promised - set a deadline for an absolute ban on neonicotinoid pesticides. No 'emergency' authorisations. No exemptions. Add your name to our open letter 👉 campaigns.butterfly-conservation.org/ban-pesticides

Ban butterfly-killing pesticides for good ❌ Despite repeated promises to ban them, the UK Government has quietly granted yet another 'emergency' license to spray butterfly-killing pesticides across our fields this summer.

Five years on & my gardens are an absolute paradise - 100s of orchids, 1000s of grasshoppers and so much more! All I did was plant native wildflowers plus mow ot twice a year, removing clippings each time. Low maintenance ✅ Amazing for wildlife ✅ What’s not to love?! 🌱❤️
