Description
Nets in hand, students collect and survey butterflies on the flowery slopes of southwestern Albania, with scientists warning that 58 of the Balkan country's 209 species are at risk. "Forty percent of butterflies in Albania have a higher risk status than the same species in Europe" says Anila Paparisto, entomologist and professor at Tirana University. Studies have blamed a combination of urbanisation, pesticides and warming temperatures for the decline. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
