Apollo Butterfly Revival in Czech Republic Now Threatened by Overgrown Habitat

The overgrown vegetation has since endangered the butterfly's larval food plants, putting its survival at risk. Experts now stress that sustained, long-term habitat management is essential to secure the species' future.
