Home Grown Butterflies

We're reading Home-Grown Butterflies in class this week.  It's a real story about how people raise butterflies in Costa Rica.  In this one village, there were fewer and fewer fish to eat and sell for money.  Soon they would have to cut down trees from the rain forest in order to farm the land.  A scientist taught the school kids how to start a butterfly farm!  They now sell the pupae, or eggs, to zoos.  My conclusion is that those kids are serious about protecting their environment.
