Conservation for the Wood White Butterfly (Leptidea sinapis) National Sites Dossier 2010

Jenny Joy, Mike Williams and Stephen Jeffcoate

The Wood White (Leptidea sinapis) is one of the fastest declining butterflies in the UK and is now a priority species in the national Biodiversity Action Plan. Transect data and other recording shows that it has been lost from many locations and, where still found, its populations are now often small or confined to a limited area of habitat.*
