Protecting insects means protecting the habitat they live in. This benefits every plant and animal sharing this habitat. Sustainable butterfly farming gives local populations an alternative to logging and clear-cutting rain-forest. The forest are preserved, critical habitat for endangered species is maintained, and butterfly populations increase.
