Butterflies are flying free in a picturesque forest recently created in the Italian Alps to help with biodiversity research.
Scientists who have recreated a Tanzanian rainforest in the Italian Alps say they hope it will help the world's declining butterfly population.
But there are fears that a failure to protect insects from the effects of deforestation and climate change will drastically reduce the planet’s ability to build a sustainable future. Like bees, butterflies are pollinators that enable plants to reproduce and therefore facilitate food production and supply.The Butterfly Forest features plant species endemic to the region, as well as birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates from different parts of the world, all inside 600 square metres of forest with cliffs, slopes and a waterfall.
