Butterfly Talk: Using wildlife of the past to guide conservation of the future

Join us over Zoom as Matt Hayes talks about the Butterflies Through Time project. 

Over the last two years the Butterflies Through Time Project has aimed to engage people with the natural world and environmental change, both past and present, by linking historical museum collections with contemporary conservation initiatives. Join Matt Hayes as he gives an overview of the project; from museum specimens and modern wildlife conservation, to public engagement events and adapting to a global pandemic.

Matt is a PhD student at Cambridge studying the effects of temperature on butterfly populations and examining how museum collections can be used in conservation.
