The
Butterfly Effect
Can
butterfly 'farming' help save the
world's vanishing rainforests?
There's a hypothesis in chaos theory
that tiny air currents rippling out from
a single butterfly's wings can swell
into a storm half a world away. If one
wing beat could alter the atmosphere,
what about clouds of the colourful
insects?
Wild theories aside, butterflies can
change the climate by helping to save
the world's remaining tropical forests.
These vast tracts of trees are often
called the 'lungs of the planet.' Their
foliage draws in the carbon dioxide that
causes global warming and converts it to
oxygen. Rainforests are home to
approximately half of the world's plant,
animal and insect species, including
countless types of butterflies.
