Organizations like the North American Butterfly Association are working every day to protect & create important habitat for pollinators – particularly butterflies. Working with backyard & professional gardeners, farmers, cities & governments across the globe. 

For instance:

In 2021, NABA acquired what was once called Chihuahua Woods — a wild, overgrown, and neglected 350-acre property just 6 miles from the National Butterfly Center. 

"This is not just land. It’s a refuge. A sanctuary. A future.”

Renamed Pixie Preserve — because it’s a place of magic, mystery, and immense potential - now has several successful projects in place including:

• Restoring barretal habitat — the last known home of the Manfreda Giant-Skipper, a butterfly so rare, it’s been pushed to the brink of extinction by habitat loss.

• Planting 12,000+ native seedlings — tailored to saline soils and resilient against invasive grasses.

• Building a LEED-certified education center — made from recycled shipping pods — to welcome thousands of students annually.

• Creating a living laboratory — where scientists, students, and visitors can witness the return of life — from Western Coachwhips to Jerusalem Thorn, from dragonflies to native bees.
