London: Conservationists on Wednesday voiced concern at a fall in the number of butterflies found in the UK, declaring a "butterfly emergency" and calling for greater protections for under-threat species.

"It's been a bit of a disastrous summer for butterflies," said Dan Hoare, director of conservation at the Butterfly Conservation, a wildlife charity.

"We've gone from this situation where seeing a butterfly outside on a sunny day was a normal part of our everyday lives to that being a rare event," he told AFP. Butterfly Conservation runs the "Big Butterfly Count", an annual census carried out by tens of thousands of volunteers across the UK.

This year's count, which aims to gauge the health of the environment, returned the lowest numbers in 14 years -- down 81 percent for species counted compared to 2023. A third of species observed were at their lowest level ever.

Experts blame a wet summer but also changes in land use and agricultural practices, including pesticides, as well as global warming.
