Blue butterflies return to San Francisco Presidio, 80 years after Xerces species extinction
The California Academy of Sciences used genetic testing to identify a blue butterfly species similar to the Xerces species that went extinct and disappeared from the San Francisco coastline. Through careful planning and collaboration with the Presidio Trust and the Xerces Society, scientists restored lost habitat and reintroduced blue butterflies to the area.
