Beautiful BUTTERFLIES vs deforestation
This video was filmed mostly in Burma Valley, Zimbabwe, a stunning biodiversity hotspot that is under threat from illegal logging for COMMERCIAL firewood sales. This is just one example. Many other areas are threatened by rampant and uncontrolled deforestation which puts not only the butterflies at risk, but the entire ecosystem!
Butterflies featuring in this video:
Crenidomimas concordia, the Speckled Lilac Nymph butterfly
Hemiolaus caeculus, the Azure Hairstreak butterfly
Charaxes etesipe, the Scarce Forest Charaxes
Junonia artaxia, the African Pansy
Euphaedra neophron, The Gold-banded Forester (My Logo!! :))

Well done James. Very informative video. We all have a part to play in conserving and protecting our environment. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Gertrude!

Thanks Muno!
Beautiful video showing the importance of our woodlands/miombo. Thank you for raising awareness and making us aware of what is at risk here.
Thank you!
Good on you James. Thank you for taking the time to spread this message. The world (and our home Zimbabwe) needs passionate young people like you. Don't give up!
Thank you so much!
Thank you James for stopping in at Chinhoyi homeschool group and exciting our kids about butterflies. Wow. How incredible to learn that in a cocoon everything becomes mush as organs move.
It was such a pleasure and I was so happy that the kids were eager to learn:) Yes it's absolutely amazing!
Well done my fellow butterfly lover. Your presentation is very professionally done. How I wish to to be able to walk free in the field/bush, following the butterflies. James, keep up the good work.
Thank you so much:)
Well done James for another excellent butterfly video.
Thank you!!
These exotic beauties must be saved!
Yes we really need to protect their habitat as much as possible
Great video🦋
Thank you!
The destruction of the trees is tragic but people in the rural areas need alternative fuel. Until there are alternatives the tree chopping will continue.
Yes that is true. Rocket stoves are one way to make cooking more fuel-efficient. This video, however, showed an area not where people were simply chopping wood for themselves, but where there was large-scale chopping with trucks being loaded up with wood for commercial sale.
Hey James,
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Hey Jannie, more than a carpenter bee but less than a man with a chain-saw😂
Hey is anyone thinking to plant a forest/ woodland and host plant in your country because more butterflies 🦋 equals more nature 🌳
Yes there are a few people who are passionate about trees and grow and plant them. I, personally, have planted over 130 indigenous butterfly trees in our garden (very close together). We do, however, desperately need a national awareness campaign to encourage the planting and conservation of indigenous trees on a much larger scale.
