Extirpation/reintroduction

[Kondla, Norbert FOR:EX]

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.
