Is the IBBA Involved in Politics?
Unfortunately butterfly releases have become very controversial recently, especially in the United States where some very vocal minorities are lobbying hard to get them stopped. The weight of scientific evidence supports our cause, but it is up to us to get this message to the right people.
There is plenty of information on this website about our politics. You can find several articles under BUTTERFLIES / Butterfly Politics.
