Butterfly Gardening also communicates an urgent conservation message. As Paul Ehrlich has said, "The health of butterfly species and populations, more than any other group of nonhuman organisms, is a measure of how close humanity has come to sawing off the very limb on which it is perched." Butterfly Gardening advocates the use of native plants to attract local butterfly species as a means of preserving not only the butterflies themselves, but the rich natural diversity of our environment."
