Explore the process of sustainable butterfly farming, from collecting eggs to raising larvae under protection, obtaining pupae, and finally taking them to market. Discover the key factors affecting success in butterfly farming and the importance of maintaining an intact natural ecosystem. Compare butterfly survival rates in farming versus the wild and delve into the potential resources to be exploited for sustainable development and ecotourism, including rivers, lakes, jungles, beaches, and estuaries. Learn how sustainable development initiatives can provide income, compete against alternative land uses, minimize disruption of ecological processes, and garner support from advocates while contributing to tax revenues.
