In 1991, a regional butterfly restoration project was carried out by The Dutch Butterfly Foundation in the fen grass-area of Utrccht/South Holland. Research showed an alarming decline in butterfly species. Clossiana selene was not even seen at all. The results of the research were immediately used for setting up advice on nature management to nature and forestry organisations. Information and education was also an important part of the project. Exhibitions, talks and school activities must interest people for butterflies, and make them aware of how to Improve the butterfly situation In their area.
