Simply Butterflies Conservation Center at Bilar, Bohol Philippines

Simply Butterfly Conservation Center

Simply Butterfly Conservation Center

Bilar is a municipality of central Bohol with about 20,000 people and is located 40 Km from Tagbilaran, over an hour drive from scenic rural countryside. This area of Bohol, Philippines has always been dedicated to conservation of nature and resources. One of the projects is the Simply Butterflies Conservation Center that is home to about 150 species of butterflies. The tropical Philippines have diversity of butterflies and in Bohol alone, there are about 300 species. There is a clear evidence of decline on the population of these exotic creatures and the Simply Butterflies Conservation Center at Bilar, Bohol in Philippines has just done a marvelous job in keeping the butterfly population as stable as possible. This butterfly garden’s principle is to strengthen natural environment for the butterflies, plant research, breed and release into the wild. Without learning the rare butterfly’s host plants and catching them continuously, the end result will be a tremendous loss of its species in the area. Illegal poaching and deforestation are sadly, still expected.

By educating the people and sharing knowledge of how to breed butterflies, the center has built a community of paid breeders in an area with serious lack of employment and income. These breeders work together with the center to ensure butterflies used at the center or the butterfly products that are exported from the island are made from sustainable hand bred sources, not captured from the wild causing damage to the butterfly population. The center also increases the Bilar, Bohol area’s butterfly population by releasing a calculated large number of hand bred butterflies into the wild, only using the surplus for making products to sell.

Visit and come face-to-face with hundreds of exotic beautiful butterflies fluttering around tropical foliage and flowers. Sit and relax, or take a stroll in this garden at Simply Butterflies Conservation Center in Bilar, Bohol Philippines. There will be knowledgeable guides to amuse everyone. Book with us now and do not miss this wonderful activity for the whole family while you are here in Bohol, Philippines.
