One step forward in the efforts to save the threatened Alpine beetle ›

Two years ago, the first alpine beetles arrived from Alpenzoo Innsbruck, Austria to Norden’s Ark in Sweden. The mission was to develop a method how to breed these endangered beetles on a large scale which could then be used to release captive breed individuals in areas where they previously existed in Austria. This spring, the first four captive-breed alpine beetles hatched in the breeding center at Norden’s Ark - a big step forward in the efforts to save the species!

Spring is coming and hope sprouts when the endangered butterfly caterpillars hatch ›

Every summer, the clouded apollo butterfly lay eggs that are taken care of. Last summer's eggs have hatched and 70 tiny larvae are eating away on corydalis before it's time to pupate a month later. In mid-May, fully developed butterflies hatch, butterflies that then mate for a couple of weeks and lay new eggs before they die.
