Lepidoptera and Conservation by T. R New http://www.nhbs.com/lepidoptera_and_con ... 08312.html
Description
Much of the foundation of insect conservation has been built on concerns for Lepidoptera, particularly butterflies, as the most popular and best studied of all insect groups. The long-accepted worth of butterflies for conservation has led to elucidation of much of the current rationale of insect species conservation, and to definition and management of their critical resources, with attention to the intensively documented British fauna 'leading the world' in this endeavour.
