Between Now and December 31, Your Gift Will Be More Than Doubled!
This Colorado Gives season; your generosity goes even further to protect the species that power life on Earth – invertebrates.
Your Gift Protects Life on Earth
Invertebrates are the unsung heroes of all life on Earth. They pollinate our food, enrich our soil, clean our water, and keep ecosystems in balance. Yet these small but mighty creatures are disappearing faster than ever.
With your support, we can continue restoring habitats, saving threatened invertebrate species, and inspiring the next generation to care for the planet’s smallest but most essential creatures.
Together, we can ensure these vital species survive and thrive. Give today to help protect the invertebrates that sustain all life on Earth.
At Butterfly Pavilion, your support powers real-world conservation:
Together, we protect biodiversity, advance science, and empower the next generation to protect and care for the species that sustain life.
Here’s how your impact multiplies:
Protect the Species Powering Life on Earth — Give Today!
Butterfly Pavilion exists to foster an appreciation of invertebrates by educating the public about the need to protect and care for threatened habitats globally, while conducting research for solutions in invertebrate conservation.
Since opening our doors in 1995, Butterfly Pavilion has welcomed more than five million visitors. Butterfly Pavilion is the first Association of Zoos and Aquariums-accredited nonprofit, standalone invertebrate zoo in the world, and our impact on research, conservation, and education is felt everywhere from our backyards to around the world.
Butterfly Pavilion is a one-of-a-kind experience; truly an unforgettable, interactive, and educational place for all. Our facility includes four indoor exhibit areas; eleven acres of public gardens; two educational classrooms; and event space overlooking Jefferson County Open Space.
Our research and conservation efforts break ground in new and exciting ways; from first-of-its-kind research on the lifecycle of fireflies and surveying invertebrate species on public lands across Colorado, to installing beehive fences to protect elephants and people in Tanzania and researching endangered butterflies in Mongolia.
Butterfly Pavilion provides educational opportunities to more than 60,000 school-aged children and 420,000 visitors annually. We offer school field trips, virtual learning opportunities, after-school enrichment activities, youth day camps, and family workshops ensuring that every person, regardless of income or ability, can experience the wonder of invertebrates and our natural environment.
Our community science projects invite volunteers and community members to be scientists alongside us, restoring urban and rural prairies and monitoring butterflies and fireflies as part of our ongoing population data tracking projects.
