re-formed its<b> Butterfly

Scott Hoffman Black, executive
director of the Xerces Society for

this task, we have prepared a short
on-line survey with the aim of
identifying current butterfly

efforts. The results of this survey
will be used to create an action
plan to prioritize individual
species status assessments, surveys,
