Endangered butterfly given fighting chance of survival thanks to these kids
Kids are on a mission to help save a one-of-a-kind butterfly, only found in the Canterbury region.
The tiny butterflies, which are yet to have an official name, have been declining in numbers due to their natural habitat rapidly disappearing.
After hearing about their plight from “Bug man” Ruud Kleinpaste, children from Burnside Primary School have been championing the “Five B’s Project”, Bring Back Burnside’s Boulder Butterfly, working to rebuild the stone-covered habitats where the purple and orange-coloured butterflies live.
Watch the video above as KEA Kids News reporter Riley Goodall, 10, of Burnside Primary helps his classmates find butterflies in the wild and release them into their new home.
