Every butterfly guy from Ben the Butterfly Guy is obtained from the Eastern provinces of Peru, the country with the most species of butterflies in the world. Peru is a mega-diverse country with 86 of the 118 eco-systems that exist on the planet containing an estimated 3800 - 4400 butterfly species out of the roughly 20,000 species world wide. I have built strong friendships and work firsthand with a network of families in the provinces of Satipo, Tingo Maria, Atalaya and Iquitos. This provides a reliable, safe and legal source of income for these families. I also engage in educating sustainable environmental management as my assistance in conclusive studies in the field of Lepidoptera shows that the health of an eco-system can be determined by the diversity of butterflies found in that given area. In other words, damaged eco-systems harbor few if any butterflies. This message, when expressed with an economic resource, is the best way to spread awareness and more importantly education that will protect our beautiful rainforest.
