It was thus lost from much of its former range during the twentieth century. Its conservation has involved many aspects of community involvement, developed over more than 20 years, and its recovery has focused on habitat restoration and weed eradication, in conjunction with conservation of remaining forest fragments. The work involved the entire historical range of the butterfly, and has emphasised landscape connectivity, enhanced through extensive plantings of native food plants. Interest has been maintained through extensive publicity, community education and media activity, and the programme has provided many lessons for advancing insect conservation practice in the region.  This summary of the extensive scientific and public aspects of this innovative insect conservation study, emphasises the many different factors that can influence community interest and practical outcomes. 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aEcology 606 $aEntomology 606 $aApplied ecology 606 $aUrban ecology (Biology) 606 $aConservation Biology/Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19150 606 $aEntomology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25090 606 $aEcology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19007 606 $aApplied Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19023 606 $aUrban Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19160 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aEntomology. 615 0$aApplied ecology. 615 0$aUrban ecology (Biology) 615 14$aConservation Biology/Ecology. 615 24$aEntomology. 615 24$aEcology. 615 24$aApplied Ecology. 615 24$aUrban Ecology. 676 $a570 676 $a595.7 676 $a595.789 700 $aSands$b Donald P.A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0198550 702 $aNew$b Tim R$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437830403321 996 $aConservation of the Richmond Birdwing Butterfly in Australia$92502957 997 $aUNINA
