A team has been capturing, rearing and releasing under-threat marsh fritillary caterpillars.
The Marsh Fritillary was once widespread in Britain and Ireland but has declined severely over the past decade
The man behind this resurgence is Rob Parry, the founder of Initiative for Nature Conservation Cymru. "Marsh fritillaries are incredibly rare and we are losing populations in Wales as well as throughout the UK and Europe," Rob said. Natural Resources Wales rejected Rob's original project proposal in 2016, which he felt was "a sign of where nature conservation is or was at".
"Habitat restoration would be needed in advance to make sure you're not releasing animals that are then lost as well," she added. Food production and a movement from cattle grazing to sheep in Wales has led to a lot of this land being drained.
