Hello all,
Considering the ecological importance, conservation significance, and
growing popularity of butterflies among the general public, it is high
time we nominated India's National Butterfly. In a true democratic
manner, we believe that ordinary citizens should drive this effort and
help the government with the process.
Support the National Butterfly Campaign, and vote for a NATIONAL BUTTERFLY:
https://forms.gle/kLrXD5AouN4VeSUC9!
After you vote, pass this on to your family and friends to encourage them
to vote. You can see the butterfly contenders in the National Butterfly
poll on the polling page as well as on our own Butterflies of India citizen
science platform: https://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/national-butterfly-poll.
The poll opened up this morning, and it will end on 8th October, at the end
of the Wildlife Week. Make this a great success!
Sincerely,
Krushnamegh Kunte, PhD
