Exclusive wallpaper for WWF members

As July marks International Meadows Day and is a great time to spot butterflies when out and about or in our gardens, this month we’re celebrating this beautiful part of UK wildlife. 

Summer, with its longer days and warmer weather, is a fantastic time for getting out in nature for many of us. It’s also the best season to spot iconic UK wildlife species, including butterflies – which are often seen feeding on the nectar of a variety of striking wildflowers or simply basking in the sunshine. 

And although they may conjure up images of bright colourful flowers in vibrant summer meadows, butterflies aren’t just beautiful to look at. They play a vital role in the health of the environment. Not only do they pollinate plants, they’re also an important part of the food chain and are indicators of a healthy and biodiverse ecosystem. 

You can help protect butterflies by taking part in The Big Butterfly Count this month. This annual citizen science programme run by the charity Butterfly Conservation is an opportunity for the public to count butterflies to help track different trends across the country.
