Local Biodiversity Action Plans.

Throughout South Wales, many local authorities are in the process of formulating Local Biodiversity Action Plans (LBAPs) for priority or threatened species of butterflies in their area. The links below provide access to their web sites and the relevant action plans. In addition, Butterfly Conservation Wales has awarded a conservation status to several butterflies found in Wales and these are also shown with links, where available, to the appropriate pages on their web site.
