Help! The World's Rarest Butterfly needs You!

Our voices may help save the Palos Verdes Blue Butterfly from extinction.
This tiny delicate creature occurs on ONLY one single site on earth. While 
attempts are being made to recreate habitat and introduce it elsewhere, only 
the one site is known to have the correct conditions for it to survive.
The entire range of this animal is now confined within the suburbs of Los 
Angeles.

Now the City of Los Angeles is planning to build on part of the special site 
where it occurs.

Searching for the rare butterfly every scrap of its former range has
been examined. There are NO other wild populations known. Until the current 
site was found it had not been seen for eleven years. It was thought that 
like its close relative, the Xerces Blue, it was extinct.

Please help! The last known good site was destroyed for development in the 
1980s.  If it happened once, it can happen again. The Palos Verdes Blue 
cannot make the plea to protect itself, WE MUST BE ITS VOICE.

Verdes Blue
