London Butterfly Atlas
During the 80’s the distribution of butterflies in London was mapped in ‘The Butterflies of the London Area’ atlas. London Natural History Society (LNHS) is updating this atlas though our London Butterfly Atlas Project.
Much has changed since to butterflies in London; while London itself has changed and is continuing to change. Survey information will improve knowledge to help the conservation of butterflies, habitats and other wildlife in London. The project is primarily concerned with the Greater London area, including the 32 London Boroughs and the City of London. The aim is to map at least to the tetrad (2km x 2km) level. The project is using records from 2015 – 2019. Work is now in hand to compile the butterfly atlas from the records of the surveys of 2015-2019. They hope to provide further updates nearer to the time. More details on the London Butterfly Atlas.
