The main purpose of my final thesis was to help an endangered butterfly by increasing the knowledge about it. The Duke of Burgundy has, like many other butterfly species today, problems to survive in an environment of increasingly intensive forestry and agriculture.

The more you know about a species and its requirements the more likely you are to be able to save it. Therefore I made a study at Omberg with the aim to find what the butterfly prefers to be able to use more efficient conservation measures in the future.
