Pollinators:  Oregon Zoo Butterfly Restoration Project
Channel: Sustainable Today
Date: 2013-06-15

The Oregon Zoo Butterfly restoration program is the topic.  Habitat is the issue.  The zoo is raising and releasing endangered Oregon Silverspot and Taylors Checkerspot butterflies for release back into the wild.  The indicator species besides being important pollinators, tell about the overall health of costal prarie habitat.  We see the process and the program to educate the public about the habitat degradation that endangers them.
