Butterflies are an endangered species on the Red List of the IUCN. (IUCN = International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.)

Butterflies are very sensitive to environmental change. I choose the motif because those endangered species are still not completely extinct.

They still have a chance to survive when we manage to change our behavior.
