*IUCN/SSC BUTTERFLY SPECIALIST GROUP SURVEY *

**

Greetings partners in butterfly conservation,

In fall of 2010, The International Union for Conservation of Nature 
(*IUCN*) Species Survival Commission (*SSC*) re-formed its*Butterfly 
Specialist Group* and named Scott Hoffman Black, executive director of 
the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, as the group's chair. 
In this capacity, Scott will work to bring together scientists and 
conservationists to facilitate butterfly conservation action and 
influence policy worldwide.

In anticipation of this task, we have prepared a short on-line survey 
with the aim of identifying current butterfly conservation projects, 
priorities, and needs, and the individuals and organizations engaged in 
these efforts. The results of this survey will be used to create an 
action plan to prioritize individual species status assessments, 
surveys, and direct conservation action.

We'd appreciate your help in better understanding what's being done and 
who is engaged in butterfly conservation across the world. *Please 
complete this brief survey; it should take less than 10 minutes to 
complete*. Any information you can give will be of great benefit to the 
work of the Butterfly Specialist Group.

We hope to get this survey out as broadly as possible. To help us do 
this, once you have filled out the survey, *please forward this 
information and the link to the survey: 
http://survey.constantcontact.com/survey/a07e39t3abkgiro65gp/start 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=tnjebhdab&et=1104693051311&s=4347&e=001Z_fUMkrlAAH8wCto2Ynx9ATP_J7Sz2hb-55PsIpaZ7o6wklQFJLflbOdEUBZ47Zkm_X_jR23bBFfJf0grVKg7Q14iNOcrt_jmOYrKeaCkFnFTIBDjFKqyFMcnG8k66q9lKuiP5sozfuwV4-tbmi2m9JLuBTW-TbwGaGlC7JaqJv9MHcug0mVq5DBi65vzj6hNYr0Q9m2nBY=>* 
to others whose work or experience may be applicable to this specialist 
group. We are especially interested in gathering information about 
butterfly conservation efforts in areas outside North America and 
Western Europe, as the initial aim of this group is to prioritize work 
in countries and regions generally underserved by butterfly conservation 
organizations.

The survey is in English. If this is not your first language, we hope 
that you will still be able to read and complete the survey and that 
language will not be a barrier to your participation. Unfortunately, the 
specialist group doesn't currently have the capacity to present and 
analyze the survey in other languages.

If you have any questions, please email them to butterflysg at xerces.org 
<mailto:butterflysg at xerces.org>, or call (503) 232 6639. Thank you for 
your help in making the Butterfly Specialist Group a success.

Sincerely,

Scott Hoffman Black
