Why Donation Matters

Invertebrates pollinate crops, enrich soils, clean water, and are foundational to ecosystems worldwide. Yet many species are declining at alarming rates without widespread public support. Your donation helps Butterfly Pavilion:

  • Restore habitats threatened by climate change
  • Deliver hands-on science education
  • Protect at-risk species across the globe
  • Fund innovative invertebrate research

Together, we ensure that these small but mighty creatures continue to thrive and inspire.

A Lasting Impact

Here is how your donations make a lasting difference from local backyards in Colorado to habitats across the globe.

Conservation Projects

Restoring Colorado's Habitats

  • Urban Prairies Project (UPP): Over 2,500 acres of native habitat have been restored since the program’s launch. By turning degraded public lands into thriving pollinator hubs, UPP helps improve biodiversity for our local invertebrates.
  • Firefly Lifecycle Project: Butterfly Pavilion became one of the first organizations to successfully breed and rear a native Colorado firefly species to adulthood.
  • Healthy Habitat Gardening Program: This program installs accessible, native garden spaces in senior living and rehabilitation facilities—providing both therapeutic value to residents and vital resources for local pollinators.
  • Community Science & Research: Powered by hundreds of volunteers participating in programs like the Colorado Butterfly Monitoring Network, Butterfly Pavilion staff published papers in four peer-reviewed scientific journals in 2025.

Global Reach: Protecting Species Around the World

  • Mexico: Restored 435 acres in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve and planted 100,000 oyamel fir trees to protect monarch overwintering habitats.
  • Tanzania & Botswana: Completed a 3.75-mile “bee fence”, using honeybees as a natural deterrent to reduce human-elephant conflict by up to 90%.
  • Ecuador: Rescued 15 stingless bee colonies (totaling ~150,000 native bees), supporting the pollination of up to 150 million fruits each year.
  • Mongolia & Turks & Caicos: Supported the recovery of five endangered Parnassius butterfly species in Mongolia and documented pollinator populations across 19 acres of sanctuaries in Turks & Caicos.

Inspiring Minds: STEAM Education & Inclusive Access

  • 103,000 children reached annually through on-site, school, and community programs.
  • 63,000 hours of STEAM education delivered each year across 702 community schools and partners.
