With larger animals there are examples where time and money has been/is
being spent to reintroduce species to parts of their range where they have
been extirpated in the past. A present day example is the Swift Fox on the
Canadian prairie (well, whats left of it anyway). I seem to even vaguely
recall some efforts along these lines with the Karner Blue. I would welcome
information on this topic for butterflies; and especially any good news
examples where this has been successful.
