Protecting the Butterflies Valley in Paros

Join us for two open events in Paros (held in Greek) highlighting the significance and vulnerability of the Butterflies Nature Reserve, a Natura 2000 site and a unique habitat within the Cyclades. The reserve is a seasonal refuge for the priority moth species Euplagia quadripunctaria (common name "Jersey tiger moth"). Through the events we will present, along with our project partners, the recent initiatives undertaken to protect this area.
