NABA Seeks Land in South Dade

Bartram’s Scrub-Hairstreak.

The butterflies of extreme southern Florida are perhaps the most endangered suite of butterflies in the United States. A number of these species, such as Batram’s Scrub-Hairstreak, Florida Leafwing and Florida Duskywing depend upon globally endangered pine rockland habitat, almost all of which has been destroyed.

NABA is trying to purchase parcels of pine rockland to save these endangered butterflies and the other endangered animals and plants that live there. But first, NABA needs to acquire the land and, as it turns out, a significant parcel of pine rockland is now available for sale.

Please be a butterfly hero and donate to NABA’s Florida Butterfly Movement, https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/florida-butterfly-movement/nabutterflyassociation, before it is too late.
